Eagles training camp practice notes, July 28: Jordan Matthews wins the day - Philly.com
ordan Matthews is already a rock star. After practice at the Linc, a group of fans were chanting "JOR-DAN! JOR-DAN!" Matthews, appreciative of the fans' love, went over to sign autographs.

When the Philadelphia Eagles hired Chip Kelly to replace Andy Reid as their head coach on Jan. 16, 2013, they weren't just bringing in a college guy and hoping for the best in an era when college coaches are doing well in the NFL.

Kadron Boone hopes to find a way with Eagles - CSN Philly
At this time last year, Kadron Boone was heading into his senior season at LSU, looking to build on a career year as a junior. Now he’s fighting for a spot on the Eagles’ roster. After catching 26 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns in 2012, Boone had just seven receptions in 13 games last season, leading to a precipitous fall off of NFL draft boards. But a sub-4.5 40-yard dash time at LSU’s April 9 pro day drew the eyes of several teams, including the Eagles.
