My pants just got tighter and Kyle is just sending me a punch of “hhhhhhhh” in the group chat so I think he passed out on his keyboard.

Alshon Jeffery published a piece in the Players’ Tribune today explaining his decision to sign with the Eagles. He starts off talking about his childhood, his time with the Bears, and the time he blah blah blah blah blah:

I’m excited to play with Carson Wentz, too. I thought Carson was legit the first time I saw him play, when the Eagles came to Soldier Field in Week 2 last season. I remember being on the sideline waiting to get back onto the field, and watching him make plays. I didn’t really think much of it at the time because it was his only second game, and I was thinking about what we needed to do as an offense to get into the end zone.

But I remember thinking for a quick second, Man, this kid can do some things.

As the season went on and he kept playing better, I thought that someday he was gonna be a legit MVP contender. I think he has that kind of talent.

I actually told him that the other day. He and I were texting back and forth after the news broke that I was coming to Philly. I told him that I felt like he was good enough to win an MVP someday, and that it was going to be my job to help him win it.

He straight up said he didn’t care about being MVP.

He wanted to win a championship.

Oh my god. Carson “Bloody hands” Wentz has made his triumphant return to the Players’ Tribune, this time even more gritty and noble than before.

This whole piece serves a couple of different purposes. First, it allows Jeffery to say goodbye to Bears fans. Second, it allows him to introduce himself to Philadelphia. But what it’s actually most successful at is Carson Wentz legend building. I have zero doubt Eagles fans are gonna love Alshon, but we all just started to love Carson a little bit more.
