Jordan Mailata expressed his gratitude towards the people in the Eagles organization and his determination to make the most of the opportunity while staying true to his roots.
Mailata is now secure in his position and spoke highly of several individuals within the Eagles organization, including his coach and colleagues.
During his honeymoon, Mailata took the opportunity to reflect on his career and the blessings he has received, recognizing the progress he has made over the years.

Mailata expressed his deep appreciation for his friend Landon Dickerson and their strong bond, both on and off the field.
With Jason Kelce retiring, the Eagles must figure out if Cam Jurgens is a more effective center or guard. Anyway, they probably plan to pick a highly-rated offensive lineman in the draft, possibly a tackle who can also play guard, as Lane Johnson, the right tackle, will turn 34 next month.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have two significant pillars for the coming coaching eras in Mailata and Dickerson.
