"I hope so. I hope they overlook me," he said. "I hope I can surprise them. I know that we have a lot of talented players on this team, [QB] Donovan McNabb, [WR] DeSean Jackson, [WR] Jason Avant, [WR] Hank Baskett, [WR] Reggie Brown, [WR] Kevin Curtis, [TE] Brent Celek. We have guys that defenses have to account for, so hopefully they are busy accounting for those guys and let me do my thing. In the recent past that hasn’t happened a lot, but I hope they forget about me a little bit."

That's not the best mindset in the world for a guy who's supposed to spend the next five or six years playing in the NFL.

Monica Yant Kinney: Let ex-cons fly like Eagles | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/19/2009
I'm delighted to hear the Philadelphia Eagles believe in giving ex-cons second chances. The city is home to 200,000 people with criminal records. When and where should they report for duty?
