    The Philadelphia Eagles made a blockbuster trade for edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, a player who has a real opportunity to be a true star in Philadelphia. 

    It'll likely come down to how Phillips looks health-wise, as that's been his biggest concern throughout his career. 

    While Phillips also has a good time getting to the quarterback, failing to sack quarterbacks at times, I'm a bit more concerned about his health than anything else in Philadelphia. 

    I expect him to take quarterbacks down in a much better defense that's going to put a lot more pressure on quarterbacks than the Miami Dolphins did. 

    However, at one point, he used to speak a bit of mess to players on the Eagles. All in good fun, obviously, but former fan favorite Jason Kelce shared a hilarious story about what Philips said to him during the Eagles and the Dolphins joint practice a few years ago. 

    “Dude, Wilkins was talking trash just in the practice. He was talking trash. And then I started yapping at him, which pretty big party foul by me because I wasn't able to practice… 

    “So I'm over here yelling. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Jaelan Phillips says, ‘Shut up, eyebrows. You ain't even practicing.’” 

    “And I was like, dude, this explicit just called me eyebrows? Like, I can't even come back from that… I mean, there ain't too many dudes got eyebrows like this,” he said.

    To make it clear, Kelce was stating this and laughing about it, so it doesn't seem like he has any hard feelings about the situation. 

    In fact, he actually found it pretty funny, which just goes to show the type of person he is and why many in Philadelphia have loved him for many years now.

    It'll be funny when he and Phillips get to be on the field and speak whenever it happens, as Kelce is typically seen at Eagles games. 

    For Phillips, he'll have to hope to accomplish what Kelce did in Philadelphia, which was one of the more decorated careers in franchise history.

    Phillips and the Eagles will have a game on Monday against the Green Bay Packers.
