DESTINY: Eagles Draft The Son Of Legendary Birds LB Jeremiah Trotter - Jeremiah Trotter Jr

LEGACY SHIT. 

Welcome home, Lil' Ax Man. Literally. Add another Philadelphia Eagle that dominated at St. Joe's Prep to the hometown roster. Hey, the Eagles objectively need linebackers and got a legacy. That's awesome. But realistically, is Ax Man Jr. going to be as good as Ax Man Sr.? Eh...maybe. Lil' Trot fell to the 5th round for a reason (was projected 3rd/4th). However, the big Trotter was a 3rd round pick out of Stephen F. Austin and wasn't exactly expected to be a franchise altering player, either. Hopefully this #54 can follow in his father's footsteps and be an absolute warrior in South Philly. 

Also, at least the original Ax Man doesn't have to worry about not supporting his kid via wearing a Cowboys jersey. This man didn't play his entire career in Philly but returned to the Birds 2 separate times for a reason. The Trotter family officially Bleeds Green.

Just got me some good ol' fashioned nostalgia wood looking back at Daddy Trotter's highlights on those early Jim Johnson teams. What a time to be alive and almost win Super Bowls.
