Jaelan Phillips is excited to be an Eagle.<\/p>\n
Phillips told reporters in the Eagles\u2019 locker room today that he was already thrilled when he found out he got traded, but now that he\u2019s had an opportunity to arrive in Philadelphia, meet his teammates, and practice as an Eagle, he can\u2019t believe how lucky he is to have landed with the defending champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I was excited on Day One, but talk to me now. This is literally the greatest thing that\u2019s happened to me in my whole life, probably,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cIt\u2019s just awesome. The guys are awesome. Everybody\u2019s been super welcoming. I love the environment, I love the vibe here. The city of Philly has given me a very warm welcome. I got about 20 times the amount of Instagram likes that I ever got on a post before, from Philly fans, so shout out to them. It\u2019s been great so far, getting out there practicing. I love the weather here, I love the locker room. Everything\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phillips has played his entire NFL career for the Dolphins, who drafted him in the first round in 2021. It didn\u2019t take him long to conclude that his second NFL team is an upgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaelan Phillips is excited to be an Eagle.
