Rodney McLeod, Steinberg DeNicola Humanitarian Award winner, wants to return to the Eagles

Rodney McLeod won’t do it.

Not yet at least.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound, veteran safety went from a somewhat undersized undrafted free agent out of Virginia signed the then-St. Louis Rams, to becoming an unsung leader of the Philadelphia Eagles for the last six years, stabilizing a dubious secondary on the field, while developing a selfless, winning culture off it.

He’s 31 and has spent a decade in the NFL.

He’s not ready, however, to reflect on his career—because he feels there is more left. He’s currently a free agent, after starting 13 games for the Eagles last season, coming off surgery in December 2020 to repair an ACL tear in his left knee.
