After finishing the first training camp practice of his 15th NFL season Thursday, Jason Peters didn’t immediately rush off to the locker room to escape the hot July sun and rest his surgically-repaired right knee.
First, he went over and spent about 15 minutes tutoring three of the Eagles’ young offensive linemen: Toby Weathersby, Matt Pryor, and Jordan Mailata.
“It’s just something I like doing,’’ said the nine-time Pro Bowl player. “Guys ask me why I still play. I just love doing this. It ain’t a job to me. It’s just fun.’’
The young players were grateful for a blocking lesson from the man affectionately known in the Eagles locker room as The Godfather.
