The standout receiver enters his third year in the city of brotherly love
Former Utah Utes wide receiver Britain Covey has earned a spot on the Philadelphia Eagles' 53-man roster for the third straight year, showcasing his resilience and versatility.
Covey, who primarily served as a return specialist during his rookie season, returned 33 punts and 10 kickoffs for a combined 514 yards. In his second season, Covey led the NFL in punt return yards with 417 and made his debut as a receiver, catching four passes for 42 yards. Despite being cut twice in his early career, Covey's determination has been a hallmark of his journey in the NFL. Speaking after the Eagles' roster cutdown deadline, Covey shared an inspiring message: “I’ve been cut twice, so I know how difficult of a day that is for so many people. To anyone out there who’s been cut, understand your value and your worth. Just keep fighting. I feel like I had a great camp and played as well as I could have.
