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 💸📈

Guess who's back... I missed my Aggies SO much! 🐾 All the cards and well wishes during my recovery meant the world — you sure know how to make a girl feel special. Thanks to the veterinary care team, I'm as good as new. Aggie Vets are just the best!

This may be an unpopular opinion but if I’m at the gym and I’ve been at a machine for less than two minutes and you’re asking me if I’m almost done and then watching me do my last set I feel like I’m within my rights to lose my mind
Congrats Lee!!! So proud of you!! Can’t wait to go watch you play again. #FBV @WakeEmUp9
