New Eagles linebacker Myles Jack didn’t know what his football future held for him when he went deep into the offseason unsigned.
The former second-round selection by the Jaguars had been staying in shape, working out and waiting for a phone call after being released by the Steelers in March. Eagles GM Howie Roseman called Jack last weekend, flew him in for a workout and on Sunday, he signed a contract with Philadelphia to bolster the team’s linebacker depth.
But if Jack didn’t latch on with a team, he wasn’t sure he would continue playing football. In fact, he was considering trade school to keep himself busy in his post-playing days.
