Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean already look good in the NFL. What an amazing and unpredictable turn of events.

No one could have predicted Nakobe Dean would play this well.

Remember all of the injuries he had? I’m surprised he can even put a shirt on with those terrible, mangled arms he brought to the NFL.

But no, as a result of modern medical miracles, the man not only walked onto a football field (unassisted, I might add).

He is a living, breathing football player in a NFL preseason game. And if you watch closely, you can watch the inspiring tackle that proved all of his doubters wrong. Nakobe Dean is #17. Slow it down if you have to.

Yes, it’s just a preseason game.

But after the horrific operations Nakobe Dean underwent between his All-American, National Championship season and the NFL Draft, it’s amazing Nakobe Dean can even breathe.

Did the Eagles just get lucky, or do they know something 31 other NFL franchises don’t?

Again, no one, and I mean absolutely no one on the football-watching planet, could have possessed half of an inkling that this individual was worthy of a first or a second-round Draft pick.

But that’s not all.

Jordan Davis, the Eagles first-round Draft pick, is helping his poor, wounded teammate make plays just like he did in college

Look, Nakobe Dean is held together with duct tape and a dream.

How could you blame the rest of the NFL for not drafting the guy?

There is literally no other resource they could have consulted to determine if Nakobe Dean played football well.

That’s where Jordan Davis comes in.

In a classic tale of heroism and sacrifice, Jordan Davis gets a piece of Jets running back Breece Hall, slowing down the ball-carrier for his old college buddy, Nakobe.

Thank the Lord.

If Hall met Dean with a full head of steam, there is no telling how much damage it would have done to Dean’s poor, shell of a body.

I don’t care that this is just the NFL preseason.

I don’t care that it was the poor, miserable New York Football Jets.

This story could teach us all a little something about grit. About brotherhood.

About the Dawgs.

Stay safe out there, Nakobe. We’re all pulling for you.
