Former Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, says there is no comparison between Chip Kelly and Mike Tomlin.

“Tomlin treats players like professionals and grown men,” Boykin said of the Steelers’ head coach, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Boykin said he was not surprised by Kelly’s early dismissal and saw it as a kind of justice for the kind of atmosphere he feels the coach created while in Philadelphia.

He notably said Kelly was “uncomfortable with men of our culture” following his trade, again sparking the rumors of racism that were started by LeSean McCoy after his own trade, to Buffalo.

“I think the players realized that a long time ago,” Boykin said of Kelly’s tenure. “Now the world knows. You can’t trick players or pretend to be someone you’re not if the results aren’t there. The guys who were man enough to make a difference and do something about it were axed or [Kelly] acted like there were sour grapes or whatever.

“We were telling the truth, and people see that now. We are grown men, and he overlooked that aspect of it. He acted like he was better and smarter than people at his level, and that’s where the respect was lost.”
