NFL Players React to Eagles Hiring Chip Kelly
Wednesday morning, the Twitterverse was abuzz with the news of Chip Kelly becoming the newest head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelly had been presumed to be returning to Oregon—and had in fact been visiting with recruits and doing his normal duties as a college head coach. That is, until the last 24 hours, reportedly, when things heated up with the Eagles and he eventually agreed to make the jump from the college ranks to the NFL. It’s new competition for many around the league, though some players preferred to joke about the hiring. Check out a sampling of how NFLers reacted to the news of the Eagles new hire on Twitter today, below. And for more, follow our NFL Players list on Twitter.
