“During the draft, the Rams called five or six times,” said Key. “I kept telling them, ‘Look, I don’t want to be drafted. I want to finish my senior year to get my degree.’ And then I woke up the next morning and I was drafted by the Eagles. I kind of fretted over that for awhile and then you kind of get over it. The only thing you can do is just go on because that’s what it is.”
Moved to left tackle as a rookie, Key had to adjust to playing the unfamiliar position with no fewer than four different men lining up next to him at guard during his first three seasons.
