Although the way he played football is different from the way he was used to in his first nine years in the NFL, Jason Kelce, half of the Philadelphia Eagles, welcomed a return to the box to start the education camp.
According to Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kelce said he never thought about not betting this season and that a return to the football regime had provided him with a modicum of normalcy.
“For a year that both for each and every American, going back and going back to a meeting room where I heard [offensive line coach] Jeff Stoutland settle 85 times in the spaces of my life, returning to an appearance of healing normality in some way,” Kelce said.
“Total joy made me appreciate how wonderful it is to come here and to be able to paint with an organization of other people and an organization of teammates. Yes, it’s just wonderful.”
Although regular antivirus testing, dressed in a face mask and virtual team meetings is a big departure from the overall NFL routine, it’s bigger than the alternative.
“I fully sense the parameters that are in a position to ensure our safety,” he said. “Unfortunately, this is done at the expense of non-public relations and the ability to communicate with new kids and build relationships.
“It’s not as simple when a user covers part of the face with a mask, as everyone has discovered over the next year.”
