After he was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday, former Clemson safety K’Von Wallace sent out the following Tweet:
Wallace, of course, is referring to the late legend Kobe Bryant, the five-time NBA champion and 18-time All-Star who was born in Philadelphia.
The “Black Mamba” is a hero to Wallace, and he believes he will bring Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality” with him to Philly as a member of the Eagles.
“I feel like that’s one of the biggest reasons why I’m competitive,” Wallace said during an interview with reporters on Eagles Draft Central, posted by the team’s official Twitter account.
