| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's happening, everybody. |
| 0:11.2 | Welcome into another edition of the Checo DeChecoe Eagles beat reporter for inside the birds.com. |
| 0:17.0 | Final transactional news for the Eagles, and they elevate safety Andre Sam from the practice |
| 0:23.3 | squad ahead of tomorrow's game that's Andre's third and final elevation for the season if they |
| 0:30.0 | want to activate him for more games this year they're going to have to sign him to the 53 man roster |
| 0:37.0 | so he's the second |
| 0:38.8 | year safety, played 14 snaps against the Chargers on special teams, picked up his first NFL |
| 0:44.6 | tackle on kickoff. Great story for those of you who don't know, and I've sort of outlined this |
| 0:50.5 | at different points over the past year and a half. But Andre was a highly coveted, |
| 0:57.1 | undrafted free agent coming out of LSU. He started his career at McNeese State. Then he went to |
| 1:02.6 | Marshall and then LSU. And so he spent a lot of years in college. He entered the NFL about |

| 1:26.9 | And by the way, the Rookie Diary Series will |
| 1:29.9 | continue. It's just I wasn't there for a couple days this week as I was under the weather, |
| 1:36.0 | doing better. But that'll pick back up next week. But yeah, Andre is just a player who |
| 1:42.9 | works really hard in practice. I understand he's well liked |
| 1:47.3 | he's picked up the system very well I think he's probably a better special teams player even than |
| 1:53.5 | Tristan McCollum who he was sort of battling with for a roster spot last summer I think that |
| 1:58.7 | Andre is actually just a more natural fit for special |
| 2:02.9 | teams. I would probably say that Tristan might be the better safety at this point. But I think |
