Myles Jack, an NFL linebacker, has a passion for working with his hands that goes beyond football. In fact, he was so ready to pursue a career as a tradesman that he considered leaving the NFL and enrolling in trade school. Despite the lack of offers from other teams during the offseason, Jack remained determined to stay active and find fulfillment through manual labor. His motivation stems from his desire to be innovative and capable of building things, even in the face of a hypothetical zombie apocalypse.
However, just when Jack was contemplating his alternate career path, Eagles’ general manager Howie Roseman reached out to him and offered him a spot on the Philadelphia team. Being uncertain about the outcome of his workout with the Eagles, Jack packed light, bringing only the essentials. Now, he finds himself staying at a hotel with minimal belongings, but he is grateful for the opportunity and ready to hit the ground running.
During his first two days of practice with Philadelphia, Jack wasted no time and immediately joined the first-team defense. Coming from a week of uncertainty and then suddenly being a part of a Super Bowl-contending team, he appreciates the unpredictable nature of life and is embracing the challenge. He even went out and bought some white t-shirts from Ross to prepare for his new role. With a playbook in hand, Jack is eager to contribute and make the most of this opportunity.
The Eagles signed Jack, along with veteran Zach Cunningham, to strengthen their linebacker position after Nakobe Dean suffered an ankle injury during training camp. In the previous season, Jack played in 15 games for the Steelers, proving himself with 104 tackles and three tackles for loss. It is worth noting that he has achieved over 100 tackles in four out of his seven NFL seasons, showcasing his consistency and reliability as a player.
Now, with a fresh start, Jack is ready to make his mark with the defending NFC champions. Fully aware that time waits for no one, he is determined to seize this opportunity and continue his passion for both football and working with his hands.
