Delay discount only
His potential never dimmed in the eyes of the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, the only discount they insisted upon was that delay to play for the team. On one hand some circles believe the Philadelphia Eagles have already decided to shut him down for this year. On the other hand, other circles believe that Sidney Jones in a wheel chair is a significant upgrade over the team’s performance in 2016.
Now, he is as eager to participate in team practices as the the team is desperate to have him join in. In the meantime, he is a sponge of NFL knowledge. He is still “head in the game” as he waits for his body to catch up. So that development of NCAA to NFL is happening right now.

Each day he watches plays, he learns. Each item he learns, he improves. He walks through the same drills his teammates run through. While his experience may not be routine, he is the type of player who gains a great deal from a little input.
