LeGette told the Philadelphia Inquirer, “I still remember my first time ever stepping out onto Lincoln Financial Field and I, the first thing I thought was, wow, this is big. Like, I’ve never danced in front of, danced or performed in front of so many people. So the fact that I had the opportunity to do that was amazing. Feeling the ground shake from how loud the fans were, it was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.”
As cool as that is, LeGette has a few other rewarding gigs in his life. For starters, he’s a special education teacher at Brookwood Elementary School in the Bristol Township School District. As you can imagine, he talks about the Eagles and his experiences with his students. He teaches them how to continually growing and be better than you were yesterday.
