Since NFL teams are still conducting business virtually, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to bring in a guest speaker on Tuesday. 

Eagles safety Will Parks said Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr addressed the team with a message of doing everything in your power to get better:

Eagles safety Will Parks says Warriors Coach Steve Kerr also spoke to Eagles in virtual meeting “This is all notes from Steve Kerr, Phil Jackson, Dougie P” He says Steve’s message was never make an excuse and always do everything you can to get better #Eagles https://t.co/ytf6LZnzqh

Even though the Warriors haven't played a game in more than two months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kerr's presence has been felt across the sports world. He was a key figure in ESPN's The Last Dance documentary and started a podcast with Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. 

Kerr joined the Seahawks for a Zoom call last week to talk about Michael Jordan's competitiveness.

Given the amount of success Kerr has had throughout his NBA career—he's won eight combined championships as a player and head coach—and having played with legends like Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Tim Duncan, it's no wonder teams from other sports would want to have him talk to their players.
