Myles Jack might start to become a favorite of the trades around the city and not just if he performs on the field. He mentioned after practice Wednesday that he considered going to trade school to become an electrician or plumber before getting a call from the Birds:

Myles Jack was cut from Pittsburgh and didn't know what to do next. He considered trade school to become an electrician or plumber.

"Time waits for nobody," he said.

He brought two pairs of drawers, two pairs of socks, and a bible to Philly. Played 1st-team LB on Day 1.

He was pretty close to shouting, “BUCKLEY & COMPANY! THREE DAYS!” with Charisse instead of lining up with the 1’s in practice:

Another thing, gotta know what type of drawers we’re working with here. We’re they boxers? Tighty-Whiteys? Boxer briefs? Compression shorts? If he got a deal with the Eagles working out in boxers I guarantee Jack is going to ball out this season. Doing anything physical while wearing boxers is psycho shit. It’s like a gas fireplace in there. One wrong move and your balls could act like some sort of kindling rubbing up against some cardboard Hanes boxers. Plus the chafing? No mas.

Can Howie sneak some extra money into his deal so my guy can buy some more underwear and socks? He’s working with the damn first team for God’s sake and looking for BOGO deals at Ross:

Myles Jack said he brought “two pairs of drawers, two pairs of socks” to his Eagles tryout Sunday, didn’t know if he’d be signed. Since then he has had a chance to buy some white T-shirts, and is washing the drawers and socks. Unclear why he didn’t stock up in those areas as well pic.twitter.com/wM43Z5SJYu

P.S. Close relationship with Budda Baker, eh?

Myles Jack said when he was cut from the #Steelers, he thought about electrician school, plumbing school with an uncertain future.

Said #Cardinals safety Budda Baker got him to come out and train with him.

Now, he's getting first-team reps for the #Eagles as off-ball LB.
