## Resource

ITB's Eagles beat reporter Andrew DiCecco gives his insights from covering the Eagles on a daily basis. In this special episode, he catches up Javon Gopie, an NFL defensive line consultant who works with the league's International Pathway Program and is the mentor for Eagles seventh-round pick Uar Bernard, a prospect from Nigeria who hasn't played any football at any level. A great conversation between Andrew and Javon to go inside Bernard's readiness to compete at the NFL and what drives him to play! ► Subscribe to our Patreon Channel for exclusive information not seen or heard anywhere else and become among smartest Birds fans out there (just ask our members!!) + get all of our shows commercial free!! https://www.patreon.com/insidethebirds ► Sign up for our newsletter! • Visit http://eepurl.com/hZU4_n. ►Support our sponsors!! ► Camden Apothecary: https://camdenapothecary.com/ ► Take Cheers Restore after your last drink or before going to bed and wake up feeling at least 50% better—or your money back.
