You watched it while it was happening, and then, you’ve been reminded of the story so many times that you can probably tell this portion yourselves. Once upon a time, in March of 2017 to be exact, Sidney Jones was a Washington Huskies product that the Philadelphia Eagles and much of the league saw as a first-round talent.
Then, he tore his Achilles tendon during Washington’s Pro Day, and everything changed. It’s unfortunate, but it’s life. Following his surgery on March 21st of that year, there were still interested parties, Philly included, but there was no way anyone was using a first-round selection to acquire the rights to his services.
