PHILADELPHIA — A few days after the Eagles clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed in the regular-season finale, rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis was interrupted from his sleep during the early morning hours. He received a bevy of notifications, including text messages from former Georgia teammate and fellow Eagles rookie Nakobe Dean.
“Did you see the news?” Dean urgently typed, “Did you hear about Chandler and Devin?”
Unaware of what Dean was referencing, Davis quickly processed through several other messages and was brought to tears after he discovered former college teammate Devin Willock and staff member Chandler LeCroy had died in a car crash that occurred near Georgia’s campus.
