The guy squirting water into Zach Ertzโs mouth is Joe OโPella. Heโs an athletic trainer thatโs been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams donโt 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 โWaterboyโ is crazy, and Iโm already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought Iโd clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
