Eagles' Grymes living the dream

THREE MONTHS ago, Aaron Grymes realized his dream and also had it crushed in the very same instant.

The 5-11, 185-pound free-agent cornerback was having a terrific training camp and preseason for the Eagles. The former Canadian Football League all-star looked like a good bet to make the team's season-opening roster, or at the very least, get signed to their practice squad.

Late in the second quarter of the Eagles' second preseason game against the Steelers, he made the kind of jaw-dropping play that earns guys roster spots.

Steelers quarterback Landry Jones lobbed a pass into the end zone for wide receiver Sammie Coates.
