A snippet from the article:
“I didn’t go into free agency saying I want to stay in the NFC East or anything,” Kerrigan said. “ … I was looking for a place where I felt like I could play my best football, where my skill set and my experience both in a 3-4 scheme and a 4-3 scheme could be utilized the best, and I feel like I found that in Philly.”
Drafted 16th in a class loaded with pass-rushing talent, Kerrigan has ranked among the NFL’s finest over the past 10 years. Among defensive linemen and linebackers who have started at least 100 games since 2011, Kerrigan has the fifth-most sacks (95.5), the most interceptions returned for touchdowns (three) and the third-most strip-sacks (19) and forced fumbles (26).
“That was something we preached and harped on at Purdue,” he said of his strip-sacks and fumbles. “We weren’t happy with just getting sacks. … ‘Why not get the football out?’ There are few better feelings than a sack-fumble in the NFL.”
