Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was one of the few Eagles players to come out and say something positive about their former coach Chip Kelly, though it wasn’t about his personality or acumen.
As many Eagles players have criticized Kelly’s practice regimen, Kelce was said the opposite, telling WIP radio Kelly’s practices were,”one of the most pampered practice schedules I’ve been a part of to tell you the truth.”
“If I’m being honest, I think that we have massages, we have all these things put in place, we have smoothies. We have daily questionnaires. ‘How are you feeling today?’ Well, dude, you’re gonna go out there and practice. So I think, quite honestly, some of these guys are a little pampered. I don’t want to get started on this, it really bugs me.”
Kelce went so far as to suggest maybe Eagles players are just getting older, as he unequivocally states that Andy Reid’s training camps were much harder.
“Other guys say — they might come in and think that they’re working hard, but maybe they’re just getting older,” Kelce said. “Who knows? I can tell you this: when we had Andy Reid, training camp was a lot harder than when we had Chip Kelly. That’s just the reality of it. And that’s just the way it was.”
