f.BREAKING: Former Philadelphia Eagles fullback has resigned from the FBI after 7 years, refusing to arrest protesters from the “NO KING” movement. To him, defending freedom means letting people speak — not silencing them.f
Washington, D.C. – October 30, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles community was taken by surprise this week after a former player known for his toughness and heart made a life-changing stand — one rooted not in football, but in principle.
A onetime NFL fullback who spent years battling in the trenches has now walked away from one of America’s most powerful institutions. His reason was clear: conscience over command.
Owen Schmitt, former Philadelphia Eagles fullback who played from 2010 to 2012 after signing as a free agent on September 5, 2010. Schmitt appeared in 36 games, recording
3 receptions for 18 yards, while serving primarily on special teams and as a lead blocker.
He was a key part of the 2011 NFC East Championship team, paving the way for
LeSean McCoy’s 1,309-yard season, and even made a special teams tackle during the 2010 playoff clash against Green Bay.
After retiring from the NFL, Schmitt joined the FBI in 2018
, where he served with dedication and honor for seven years. But this fall, amid the growing “No King” protests nationwide, he reached his breaking point.
According to sources, Schmitt grew increasingly uncomfortable being ordered to arrest protesters — many of whom were peaceful citizens exercising their right to free expression. The moment felt like a betrayal of everything he stood for.
“I’ve always believed in protecting this country,” Schmitt said in a heartfelt statement. “But when you’re asked to arrest people for simply demanding freedom, something’s wrong. In America, speaking out isn’t rebellion — it’s a right.”
His statement spread rapidly across social media, sparking waves of support from fans, former teammates, and human rights advocates. Many praised Schmitt for upholding integrity over authority — a modern act of courage.
Now living in West Virginia, Schmitt plans to focus on veteran support and civic education programs, helping others find purpose and courage in standing for what’s right.
Packers Sign Former Super Bowl Champion DT After Workout Amid Concerns About Devonte Wyatt
Green Bay, WI — The Green Bay Packers have officially signed defensive tackle Keondre Coburn, a former Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, following Monday’s round of workouts that included five interior linemen. The move comes amid growing concern over
Devonte Wyatt’s lingering knee injury.
Coburn, a 2023 sixth-round pick by Kansas City, appeared in 25 career games across stints with the Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, recording valuable rotational experience on the defensive front. Known for his strength and ability to plug gaps, the 6-foot-2, 332-pound lineman brings both size and championship pedigree to Green Bay.
His skill set fits perfectly with what the Packers have been missing up front — a physical interior presence capable of absorbing double teams and freeing up edge rushers. Coburn’s addition is expected to immediately provide depth and stability inside the Packers’ defensive line.
The Packers brought in Tommy Akingbesote, Anthony Campbell, Fabien Lovett, and Omari Thomas alongside Coburn for Monday’s session but opted to finalize a deal only with the veteran defender.
Wyatt, meanwhile, remains listed as “week-to-week” after suffering a knee injury in the Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. Without him, the Packers’ defensive interior has struggled to control the line of scrimmage, conceding several explosive plays in the second half of that game.
With Coburn’s arrival, the Packers (2-1-1) aim to reinforce their front ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, hoping his championship experience can anchor a defense looking to regain its identity.
