Cornerback Byron Maxwell has played in the last two Super Bowls and he doesn’t think his move from Seattle to Philadelphia is going to get in the way of a third straight trip to the NFL’s biggest game of the year.
Maxwell signed with an Eagles team that fell short of the playoffs in 2014, but told Jenny Vrentas of TheMMQB.com that he’s found the same “winning culture” that he experienced in with the Seahawks. He also said that he thinks his time in such a culture has him feeling like the Eagles are going to replace his old team as the tops in the NFC.
“Experience. Because I’ve been there before,” Maxwell said. “Knowing what it’s like if we go that far. Because we’re gonna go that far this year -- meaning the playoffs and the Super Bowl. We’re gonna go that far. Hopefully that experience I already had, I can help them.”
Maxwell added that you “can take that as a guarantee” because he has “no choice but to think that way” heading into the season. Eagles fans, meanwhile, will have to hope that his big talk works out a bit better than the last time a new member of the team crowned himself and his teammates before the any games were played.
