The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to the White House later this month, and their head coach is honored to be part of such a longstanding tradition.

Last month, the Eagles announced that they would visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Previously, rumors had circulated that the team would opt-out of the visit. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told reporters at this week’s annual league meeting that the decision was an "obvious choice."
