Philadelphia Eagles drop one on team legend Harold Carmichael’s birthday

This might make for a doggone good question if you’re ever playing a little Philadelphia Eagles trivia, but how many of you would have guessed off of the top of your heads that Harold Carmichael was a seventh-round draft choice in 1971?

That was back when the NFL Draft had what seemed like 30 rounds.

Carmichael went 161st overall after a career at Southern University that would eventually land him in the Black College Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

Four Pro Bowl nods would follow (1973, 1978–1980).
