Rookie hazing by the #Eagles. Making Adam Zaruba (@thezoobs12) sing the Canadian National Anthem. Reaction priceless 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Bv07XXuRBk — Jeff Kerr (@JeffKerr247) August 15, 2017

And what has he made of his teammates’ reaction, which includes the USA USA chant heard at the end of the video?

“They love to get on my case about it, that’s for sure.”

Zaruba made his Eagles debut in their first pre-season game last week, seeing some action on kickoffs and even on a couple snaps. He lost some time early last week when he was held out of action because the team put him through concussion protocol. He’d taken a hit to the upper body two Thursdays ago and the team took every precaution.

The Eagles play the Bills on Thursday night. Zaruba, who signed with the Eagles last month after his rugby agent pitched him to NFL teams, is one of 90 players on the Philly roster for training camp, a number which will be cut down to 53 when the regular season begins next month.
