Eagles’ Jalen Mills Motivates the Boys & Girls Club
Jalen Mills has had a busy off-season as he prepares for his transition from cornerback to safety – a positional shift that has been a big focus for the Eagles following the loss of Malcolm Jenkins.
Mills signed a 1-year contract with the team this off-season and with the addition of Darius Slay, the Eagles offense has a new look which will allow Mills to return to the dominant safety form which he embodied during his time at LSU.

Recently, Mills visited his hometown of Dallas, Texas to show his support for the community and connect with the local youth.
In his latest YouTube video (which was captured prior to the COVID-19 outbreak), Jalen speaks with the kids at the Boys & Girls Club – where he shares his background, provides them with words of encouragement, engages in various games, and addresses their questions on a personal level. In speaking with the kids, Mills strongly emphasizes the importance of good grades, listening to your coaches and teachers, and working hard to reach your full potential.
As fans, it’s exciting to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the lives athletes lead on a daily basis. We’re accustomed to seeing them in the scope of their on-field play and post-game interviews, but rarely get insight into their backstory off the field. Especially, during quarantine, we’re looking forward to seeing what creative ideas athletes come up with.
