Daily News | Colts’ Rodney McLeod prepares to face Eagles: ‘Emotions are going to be running high for me’
Rodney McLeod is nearly 10 months removed from playing his final snap in an Eagles uniform.
“It’s going to be exciting,” McLeod said in a conversation with The Inquirer. “Knowing the history I have in Philly, emotions are going to be running high for me. I’m looking forward to going out and competing, making my presence felt.” Outside of football, McLeod was a fixture in the Philadelphia community. Around the beginning of the pandemic, he and his wife, Erika, launched their “Change Our Future” foundation, which aims to empower the youth through education, advocacy, and developmental programs. McLeod also served on the team’s social justice leadership council.
. The event will provide frozen turkeys, along with other food, to families in need. Over the last three years, the foundation has provided food for 700-plus families during the holiday season. Watching the Eagles from afar this year, McLeod has quietly cheered for Hurts, who has emerged as an MVP candidate while leading his team to eight victories over nine games.
After McLeod’s departure, the Eagles had a gaping hole at safety. The position was considered one of the team’s few unproven spots throughout the summer. Before the season began, the Eagles traded for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, pairing him alongside Epps. The duo has experienced success together in the post-McLeod era, but McLeod’s impact is still felt through the eyes of many.
