Reed Blankenship, the Philadelphia Eagles' safety, exemplifies the underdog spirit, having made a name for himself as an undrafted rookie free agent who fought his way onto the 53-man roster. His journey reflects a familiar narrative as the Eagles may be experiencing a similar rise with Andre' Sam, who also went undrafted and shares Blankenship's tenacity. Sam, now on the active roster, made his NFL debut in a game against the Carolina Panthers, contributing his first tackle and joining Blankenship in celebrating their Super Bowl victory last February. Both players embody the determination and grit that define the Eagles' defense.
