D’Andre Swift just returned home and he’s already making history for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles proposed at the recent NFL Annual Meeting to allow teams to grant a player the jersey number given the scarcity of available numbers for 90-man rosters. The proposal passed at the meeting in Phoenix in March, and the former St. Joes Prep and Georgia Bulldogs star will now wear the No. 0.
