Training for training camp

With Eagles training camp coming up this week, here's a quick guide to some names you should know on the team.

Sav Rocca – P, rookie year
Phun Phact: Rocca is a well-known Australian Rules Futebal player who came to American with the singular goal of kicking Dirk Johnson’s ass.

Max Jean-Gilles – OG, 2nd year
Phun Phact: He has both the biggest girth on the team (358 pounds) and the girliest name on the team (Max Jean-Gilles).

Erick Harris – S, 2nd year
Phun Phact: He has played Division 1-AA college football, NFL Europe football, and Arena League 2 football, but not any pro ball. And he won’t this year either.

Jon Dorenbos – LS, 6th year
Phun Phact: He’s the Eagles long snapper. His name is not Mike Bartrum.

Brian Dawkins – S, 13th year
Phun Phact: Dawk needs two sacks to become the third man in NFL history to record 20 interceptions and 20 sacks in a career. Also, with four more sacks, he will officially have to register with police as a deadly weapon.

Rashad Barksdale – CB, rookie year
Phun Phact: His middle name is unique. No, not unusual. “Unique.” And, ironically, there’s nothing else special about him listed in the media guide.

I'm surprised they didn't come up with a unique spelling as well.
