The Eagle with the most swag has returned to the nest, as Cre’Von LeBlanc re-signed with the Birds just hours after being released to make room for running back Jason Huntley.
The man knowns as ‘Strap_ENT’ brings a passion and grit to the game that has allowed him to become an integral part of the Philadelphia Eagles secondary. During a recent sitdown with NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark, LeBlanc gave some insight into what makes him and how he plays for his family.
I had a heartfelt interview with Cre’Von LeBlanc about losing his dad as a kid, his bro being in jail for life. It was just him & his mom
“I want them to live their dreams thru me. That’s where my struggle of pain, passion, grit comes from. I get to use that on the field freely” pic.twitter.com/9vYrZWNtR8

His father, Craig LeBlanc died of a heart attack at age 44, when Cre’Von was a high school sophomore, while his brother, Craig Jr., is serving a life sentence in a Florida prison for a shooting death.
The attitude of the Eagles secondary, LeBlanc turned down better offers to return to Philadelphia and finish the mission.
