New Eagles linebacker Zach Brown has indulged a few times in one of the area's signature foods, the Philly cheesesteak. In fact, he planned to have one every Thursday. But, as training camp begins, Brown, listed at 250 pounds, feels he's in excellent shape. “I’m the biggest linebacker so everybody calls me fat, but I’m not fat, bro. Y’all just small." (NBC Sports)
