The problem with highlighting specific moments from NFL training camp is that one player's good play is another player's bad play.
The Eagles' social-media team on Wednesday decided to trumpet an interception made by cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. The errant pass was thrown by quarterback Jalen Hurts.
"Right on Q," the caption declared.
It's a curious decision, given that the pressure seems to be increasing on Hurts. The Eagles, by all indications, expect him to run the offense as designed, and to execute the plays as called. As Derrick Gunn reported last season, internal frustration was growing over Hurts playing "his game" once the ball was snapped.
Was it a situation of an intern gone rogue? Or was someone trying to send a message to Hurts, with the notion that it was simply a social-media intern gone rogue providing plausible deniability?
Regardless, it happened. The Eagles' 3.7-million twitter followers (and many others) saw the clip that has been viewed 11.2 million times and counting.
