Jason Babin: Philadelphia Eagles Star Defensive End Robbed of His Shotguns

Of all the Philadelphia Eagles who are struggling this season, newly signed defensive end Jason Babin is not one of them.

Babin does have a reason to be distracted, though.

TMZ is reporting that Babin had his personal possessions stolen from a Houston storage facility, while the new Eagle found a home in Philadelphia, including eight shotguns used for hunting.

With this being Babin’s first year with the Philadelphia Eagles after signing a contract worth approximately $28 million over five years, there was a transition period and when Babin was finally ready to get his things back, they were all gone.

Now Babin’s house is bare and his wife and kids have to start over with the majority of their items gone forever. While this doesn’t seem like much for a person who just signed a huge contract, but these are still people.

Imagine all of the personal possessions and memories that were stolen as well; photos, cards and sentimental knickknacks that are too valuable for a true monetary value.

For me, this would be one of those things that lingered with me throughout the season, but Babin has done an amazing job of leaving his off-the-field issues off the field.

Through four games of the season, Babin has 12 combined tackles, seven sacks (which leads the NFL) and a forced fumble in spite of the robbery turmoil.

The star will be returning to his former home in Houston to figure all of this out face to face, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Babin records another sack against the owner of the moving company.
