YESSSSS I was thinking the same thing! Momma is moving mountains! Long Live Mrs. Trotter!
Just to hear Merrill Reese say Jeremiah Trotter on the tackle again will be something else. You would hear Senior's name almost every play.

Congratulations Jr.! It's going to be great to see you on the field with Trotter on an Eagles jersey! Can't wait!
A great day for a Father and son. Thank you Howie.
You know hes' gonna have the intensity, its in his genes. Cant wait to see him in Eagle green. # 54 , Eagles
So happy for Jeremiah and his son man!
Trot and Trot Jr LFG 🦅🦅 I Feel like this was needed for this team with all the media being negative now they have nothing to say amazing draft amazing story Fly Eagles Fly 🦅💚
Congrats Axeman Jr!!
It would be a crime for Jr to not get #54
Trotter and BDawk were my favorite players in that era. I wore that reebok #54 Trotter jersey every week. What a hard working down to earth tough football player. He was bad ass on Sundays. I hope he's been able to instill some of that into Jr. I'm excited to see this thing play out. What a great story after a great offseason for the Birds.

To avoid losses as a and enhance profits as a newbie you'll need to consult a professional
That draft pick was a highlight of the weekend!!! The Eagles killed it this draft! Great job Howie and Jeff!!! 👍
Such a great story! If Trott Jr. can chop like his father he should do well & wish him the best! Can't say enough about the Eagles organization that seems to do (nearly..) all the right things to succeed. The owner & management of the Birds have amassed a superior collection of talent & paid vets with proven track records handsomely. Having vets like Fletcher & Jason play their entire, long, Pro-Bowl laced careers in the city speaks volumes. A lot of pressure now falls on the coaches, especially the new ones to realize the teams full potential.
This brings me to tears 😢 hopefully he can finish what his dad didn't finish (win a SB)
This is why the EAGLES organization is the best in the NFL. Genuine, organic, real. Philly thru and thru!!!
So happy for the Trotter family. First met Jeremiah back in 1995 in college at Stephen F Austin while covering him and the (then) nationally-ranked Lumberjacks for the school newspaper. Needless to say, he stood out on the Division I-AA level, even as a true freshman, and I've been a huge fan and hype man ever since! Axe'Jacks!
I love this🙌🏽❤️
Trotter sr was my favorite lb with the eagles happy to see his son doing it in Philly
Can’t wait. Can’t wait. His celebrations is one of the best. I can’t wait
This is great! I hope Trotter Jr. will bring that fire and have a not only a great season, but a great career with Philly. Congrats to the family. Go birds!
Congratulations to that young man and pops.😊
Congratulations axe man. Look how happy he is. Always proud eagles fan because of guys like Trot.
He can get back home from west Virginia in a couple hours to see his other son play at home.
I'm so happy for him. I still have my Trotter 54 jersey. Do it proud.
Great and joyful interview! Congratulations to you both! Go birds!🦅💚🖤
So happy for both of them. I really wanted the Eagles to draft Totter’s son. I’m so glad they got him. 🦅🦅🦅
Hell Yeah!! I have goosebumps just listening to this.
Congratulations Jr., this is amazing
Finally only pick I wanted Steelers did it with Joey Porter jr and why not Eagles
I was waiting for this pick I know plenty of us were. I still get choked up and emotional behind this pick god has a funny way of bringing u home. Watched his dad play now I get to watch him. 🦅🦅🦅
