The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Wow: NFL waterboys earn over 3 THOUSAND dollars per game, which averages out to more than $50K per season, not including tips.
Waterboys also attend practices, handle locker room prep, and travel with the team.
What a fantastic job to have 💸📈
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per a former Eagle employee, this is an athletic trainer.

Hi, ER Doc here.
Just a friendly reminder if your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell all your friends about this.

Uhhhh….
Athletic Directors
If the company that is supposed to be providing AT services is sending you students….
That is a major problem that you might want to address.
Start first by asking your legal counsel to look up the Lackawanna College case.🤦
Hiring non-ATs to do AT work.
And for the students and their institution - not sure the @CAATEUS would like this at all.

Good morning. Please meet these shameless wealthy Americans who insist they’re not wealthy because they don’t want to pay higher taxes

Athletic Trainers are so much more than ice bags and ankle tape - they are healthcare professionals with expertise in rehab, emergency response, injury prevention, MSK medicine! Often the first line of med/psych for the athlete, warfighter, industrial/occupational athlete!

Parents - don't make decisions about your child's athletic participation based on the extremely small chance that they will get a scholarship (or even smaller chance they go pro). Foster a life-long love of athletics, keep them healthy, and play multiple different sports.
