Something that professional football players often talk about is their “Welcome to the NFL” moment. To be more specific, this particular moment is when a player is humbled by the level at which he is now playing. It is generally getting tackled or sacked or something along these lines. Obviously playing college football is very difficult, but taking the leap to the pros can be sobering to say the least.
Recently former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was talking on his podcast New Heights about his own moment of such kind and brought up a Christmas Eve contest against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, Cowboys Stadium at the time, in which one particular player made it a very long day for him.
