Gillie Leading The Eagles Locker Room Celebration After Winning The NFC Title Proves The Eagles Are On An Unstoppable Heater
They don't call him the King of Philly for no reason.
Every great run in sports needs a "thing". Whether it's a song, a celebration, any sort of tradition. Teams just need something that is able to encapsulate the collective energy of that entire run. The 2017 Eagles had "Dreams and Nightmares". The New England Patriots had cheating.
I was starting to get a little worried that the Eagles didn't have a thing. We all knew they were a great team, but did they have something to really pull the locker room together and make this run as special and memorable as could be? Turns out, it was always Gillie.
Saquon Barkley. Zack Baun. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Carter. Gillie da King. Those right there might be the 5 most important pieces to this current Eagles team right now, and I don't necessarily know if that's an exaggeration or not.
PLAY THE DAMN SONG.
