08:01 AM ET 07.02 | Many outside of Philadelphia and Minnesota may not recall Thomas Tapeh, but he'll try to make a name for himself as a high school coach. [Tapeh], who played fullback for three seasons with the Eagles, has been named the new head football coach at Woodrow Wilson in Camden. The 32-year-old Tapeh replaced Chris Crowley, who resigned after the season. "I'm very excited for this opportunity," Tapeh said. A 2004 fifth round draft choice of the Eagles from the University of Minnesota, Tapeh played for the Birds in 2004, 2006 and 2007. He missed the 2005 season due to a dislocated hip injury that he suffered late in the 2004 season. Tapeh appeared in two games for the Minnesota Vikings during his final NFL season in 2008.

And, if I recall correctly, he was a good option for the Eagles when healthy.

He's been out of the league longer than a certain former Packers quarterback, but not quite as long as Jeff George.

Indeed. I agree. If you can't be on the field, coaching has to be the next best thing.

Unheralded job he had in NFL as a blocking fullback. Now I hope he gets his reward and dues by teaching and coaching young men in the future.
