NFL Executive: 'Chip Kelly Is The One Guy Who Can Make Bradford A Success'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- If you want to get a Philadelphia sports fan going just say the name Sam Bradford.
Bradford is, without doubt, the most polarizing athlete in the city. And while most people around the NFL have disregarded the injury-prone former No. 1 overall pick, one anonymous executive is cautiously eager to see Bradford run Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense.
"If Bradford had gone anywhere else you wouldn't even be talking about him. He's been hurt the past two years and even when he was healthy, he was just average," the exec said via NJ.com. "But he's with Chip Kelly, so there's hope I guess. Chip Kelly is the one guy who can make Bradford a success."
Nevertheless, this "top executive" is admittedly skeptical of Bradford.
"I understand they gave up on Foles," the executive said. "But I don't know why they're building up Bradford so much. I'm still confused about that whole deal. You can only talk about him being the first pick of the draft (in 2010) for so long. What has he done since then?"
