"E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles" shouted 150 members of the Boys & Girls Club of Lancaster as injured Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean entered the clubhouse.
In an encounter organized by Kegel's Produce, which hosted Dean during the day, club members were able to ask questions, receive an autographed photo and have their photo taken with the NFL athlete.
Dean, from Horn Lake, Mississippi, told the youngsters he grew up with a Boys and Girls Club. "When I see you, I see myself."
