[wang1993]

Eagles draft picks Sidney Jones Jerseys Wholesale and Elijah Qualls haven’t taken part in any of the offseason program since the team held a Rookie Minicamp two weeks after the NFL Draft.

A majority NFL Jerseys Authentic of the Pac-12 is on the quarters system and so the University of Washington – where both Jones and Qualls attend – doesn’t hold its graduation until Saturday, June 10. Thus, both Jones and Qualls are expected to be in attendance next week for the mandatory minicamp, and not a moment too soon. While Jones remains in recovery from a torn Achilles tendon injury suffered in March and wouldn’t be ready to step on the field, anyway, Qualls is trying to make the roster.

I had three classes left in my senior quarter spring. It’s just tough with the quarters system. You don’t graduate until June. “It’s tough Cheap Jerseys Wholesale when you’re a rookie. I came right into Training Camp and things are running a million miles an hour. We were in Chip’s offense (Chip Kelly, former head coach) and it was eye-opening, for sure. I think it’s smart to do away with the rule.”
