Philadelphia Eagles receiver Nelson Agholor celebrated his Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots by returning to the restaurant chain he worked at as a kid.
ESPN’s Darren Rovell tweeted a photo of Agholor with several of his teammates at a PDQ restaurant, and captioned the shot, “For first meal together after winning Super Bowl, @nelsonagholor brought his teammates to @PDQFreshFood. Background: His first job as a teenager was working at a PDQ Restaurant in Tampa.”

This is a really cool photo, and it’s awesome to see how far Agholor has come in his life. He went from working in the food industry to becoming a Super Bowl champion wide receiver with the Eagles. Talk about a drastic change of scenery.
There’s nothing wrong with working in the food industry. Plenty of people do it, and there are lots of avenues to success in that line of work. However, people don’t usually jump from the fast food industry into the NFL. I think it’s very safe to say that’s not the normal path to a Super Bowl ring.
It’s just a very cool moment for Agholor to return to his roots. A great reminder of how far you can go in life.
