Some guys just grab our attention in ways that others can't... Some guys are just 'box office'. Jason Kelce, a former sixth-round draft choice (it's still amazing to say that) has crafted the career of a future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee. He's also a Philadelphia Eagles legend, one that makes us think that no one should wear the Number 62 jersey again.

Birds fans also love Chris Long. He didn't don the midnight green long, two seasons to be exact, but he feels more like an Eagle than many guys who were in the City of Brotherly Love longer. DeVonta Smith is entering his third NFL season. He has already become a fan favorite.

Kelce and Long have become stars in the media. DeVonta doesn't talk much. He often lets his play on the field do most of the talking, but we always love hearing his mic'd up moments, and in a town where Birds fans can't get enough of their Eagles, no one would dare turn down an opportunity to get to know Number 6 better.

You're in luck if you agree. All three provided an in-depth look at our Birds recently.

Eagles news: Check out Jason Kelce's recent appearance on Green Light with Chris Long and DeVonta Smith's guest appearance on I Am Athlete.

Put Chris Long and Jason Kelce in the same room with a couple of microphones, and magic is certain to happen. They joined forces on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast recently and well... We really don't need a ton of setup for this one, do we?

As funny as it sounds, we have probably heard more from DeVonta Smith this past week than we have heard from him since he won the Heisman Trophy. He spoke with members of the media at the NovaCare Complex. He also took time to hang out with Darius Slay on a recent appearance on The Volume's Big Play Slay podcast. There, he was kind enough to share his top-five Alabama Crimson Tide wide receivers, but the artist formerly known as the Slim Reaper didn't stop there.

You have probably heard about his appearance on the I Am Athlete brand as well. If not, you most certainly heard about his claims of being a top-ten NFL receiver. Check out his full interview below.

Now, that was fun. Might DeVonta Smith have a new podcast brewing in his future? We most certainly wouldn't mind adding it to the rotation we already frequent.

More Eagles news: Might we see Jeff Stoutland add another feather in his cap?

By now, you have probably heard about the recent workout involving the Philadelphia Eagles and former first-round draft choice D.J. Fluker. That one made us think. We didn't take the time to research this one. We're going strictly off of the top of our heads here, but the only thing that might be missing from the fantastic resume belonging to Jeff Stoutland is resurrecting a career of a former first-rounder. Might we see him do so now?

Via Jordan Schultz... A league source told The Score that veteran OL DJ Fluker is worked out for the #Eagles today, Fluker has lost over 40 pounds and has been working tirelessly to get in shape. Howie Roseman continues to work the trenches.

During his time at the University of Alabama (2009-2012), Fluker became a three-time BCS national champion (2010, 2012, 2013). He was an All-SEC nod and a First-team All-American in 2012. Before being drafted 11th overall during the 2013 NFL Draft. In his first season, he was named as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie Team.

He worked closely with Jeff Stoutland in 2011 and 2012. Did you notice his best season came with Stout as a tutor? Philly's offensive line has some legends on it: the aforementioned Kelce, Jordan Mailata, and Lane Johnson. They have a young star on their hands in Landon Dickerson. Much is expected of Tyler Steen and Cam Jurgens.

There may not be room for Fluker. Then again, Philly may find some, but seeing what he could be as a member of Jeff Stoutland University is a treat that we would pay to watch.
