They’re called certainties, those things that we can bank on, even if we take them for granted. Most people know what a donut should taste like, so when you bite into one from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts, you’ll know immediately if you’ve been given a bad one. Sports fans have certainties as well. When the Philadelphia Eagles took Andre Dillard 22nd-overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, we were all certain of three things.
One, the ‘Birds’ already had a future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee playing at left tackle. Second, when the 2019 regular season began it would be Jason Peters and not Dillard filling that position in the starter’s role.
