Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata showed he is more than just good at blocking for quarterback Jalen Hurts—he's got some vocal chops too.

Mailata got the opportunity to sing the song "Tennessee Whiskey" in front of country singer Chris Stapleton backstage on Saturday. Mailata impressed Stapleton, who responded by clapping and giving Mailata a handshake for his performance. Stapleton popularized the song "Tennessee Whiskey" when he covered it in 2015, though the tune was originally recorded by singer David Allan Coe in 1981.
