Sunday August 5th, 2012 an unfortunate event happened at 2012 Philadelphia Eagles training camp. Garrett Reid the 29 year old son of Eagles head coach Andy Reid was found dead in a Lehigh University dorm room. In their younger years Garrett and his younger brother Britt got into trouble, some even drug related. Many rumors since Garrett's death has become his passing is due to drugs. I'm sure an autopsy will disclose the exact cause of death. Many NFL players, coaches and teams around the league paid their respects via social media, then on Tuesday. Tuesday was the day Garrett's funeral was held in Broomall, PA. The entire Philadelphia Eagles team showed up on their off day to show support as well as many former Eagles including McNabb, Trotter and Westbrook. Reid will be back on the sideline for the Eagles first preseason game at home vs. Pittsburgh. Many Eagles players have already said they will dedicate the upcoming 2012 season to Garrett and Andy Reid. Andy would call his son 'G' he was assisting the Eagles training staff at Lehigh prior to his passing. Many wonder how will Coach Reid in his 14th season hold up going forward and will this situation bring the team together ?
