The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Im all for college football student athletes doing what is in their best interests, but I hope more young men see that sometimes their best opportunities are right in front of them, where they already are.
Chris did this the right way, the hard way. Proud is an understatement
Looking for PT/AT who wants to work in high level football. One negative is they would have to work with me every day.
But seriously, really excited for what this position will mean to our Staff and Student Athletes.

@DraftVogel For how good of a player he is, he is an even better person. This is his freshman year after we won the Frisco Bowl. Unprompted, without hesitation, helping our students up the ramp post game. He deserves everything coming his way.
Followed in the foot steps of an all time great. Kept the standard high. Coached alot of great men, Alot of great cats. And did it the right way.
Thank you @CoachKli
You were 100% the right man for the job at the right time. The K-state Family is stronger because of you.
We mourn the recent passing of Gregg Nassen from cancer. Gregg had been a video coordinator with the football program since 2003. He will be missed.

So in this crazy business we are in at times I have to wonder why I still do it. Then you get an invite from one of your athletes to come watch her in this prestigious amateur and it reminds me of the Why.
Congrats to Xavier Hamlett for being named to the all-Mountain West Community Service Team! What a tremendous honor!
