Philadelphia Eagles: 15 random fun facts about select players

1. Josh Adams can do a bunch of flips

Okay, we’re off to a super random start here. Undrafted rookie running back Josh Adams is a big-bodied player who doesn’t strike us as someone who can do a backflip, let alone a “bunch of flips.” He wasn’t very specific, but it’s undoubtedly an interesting fact we would like to see live one day.

2. Derek Barnett idolized Michael Bennett

The former first-round pick didn’t reveal too much about himself when he came to the Eagles, so it’s pretty surprising to find out that he was actually playing in front of one of his idols last season. Michael Bennett is no longer on the Eagles, but he did share snaps with Barnett last season before the Sophomore pass rusher went in for surgery on his shoulder.

3. Nigel Bradham hates the cold

Back in Florida, Nigel Bradham’s first job was at Winn Dixie, a popular grocery store in the state. He worked in the frozen food section, where his career as a grocery associate didn’t last long. Since it was so cold, Bradham ended up quitting. Ironically enough, he played professional football in Buffalo and now in Philadelphia, where the winters are freezing.

4. Rasul Douglas was a fan of Brian Dawkins growing up

Rasul Douglas and Brian Dawkins don’t play the same position, but cornerback and safety are not too far off. The former Eagles safety must’ve been a favorite to a lot of kids growing up, who played somewhere in the secondary on defense. After all, he is a Hall of Famer nowadays.
