What’s the most popular Rita’s flavor?
Rita’s Water Ice, a partner of the Philadelphia Eagles, parked its truck inside the welcome gates of Training Camp practice at the NovaCare Complex for another year last week.
As Training Camp practices occur in the heat of summer, the Rita’s truck is a great way for not only the fans, but the players to cool down as well.
The truck offers five classic flavors: Blue raspberry, green apple, lemon, mango, and Swedish Fish.
The most popular flavor among fans is mango – a staple on the menu for years.
While the fans can walk up to the truck at any time during their visit to practice, players can indulge post-practice on the field or in the locker room. However, most players have the luxury of getting the water ice delivered right to them, that is, with the exception of the rookies.
A rotating group of rookies brings trays of a variety of the five flavors to their teammates each time the truck makes it to practice.
On Day 1 of camp, first- and second-round selections Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, along with undrafted free agent Andre’ Sam, each carried a tray from the field into the locker room. On Thursday, rookie tight end McCallan Castles made the trip to deliver the goods.
Rookies will be getting some help delivering the water ice at some point, as the Rita’s Water Ice Kid Sweepstakes will allow the winning child to deliver water ice to players after a practice.

TE Grant Calcaterra on the new offense and the tight end’s usage in it: “I really like it a lot, I really do. I think there’s opportunities for guys to make plays everywhere. I love the progression-style offense, you know, everybody’s an option, so I’m hoping that guys get some opportunities. It’s been good so far.”
Bringing something else to the table
WR/PR Britain Covey on where he’s shown the most growth heading into Year 3: “I think I’ve shown the most growth as a receiver. I think reliability as a receiver is important. If you think about it, in this offense we’ve got A.J. (Brown), Smitty (DeVonta Smith), Dallas (Goedert), and Saquon…
