BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Alshon Jeffery will look across the line of scrimmage on Sunday and see his college roommate, with whom Jeffery is so close that he served as a groomsman in his wedding.
But this week, Jeffery will not view New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore as any of those. He’s just an opponent in his way of a Super Bowl.
“He’s on the other side,” Jeffery said. “I play for the Eagles.”
One of the most compelling matchups in the Super Bowl will be between the two high-priced free-agent signings on both the Eagles and the Patriots.
