Daily News | Trey Burton threw the Philly Special and then overcame the anxiety that followed
nine months earlier, seemingly making him the best option on the Chicago Bears to run a similar trick play midway through the 2018 season. The coaching staff introduced the formation — which closely resembled the “Philly Special” — and assigned Burton to handle the same role he did for theA running back would take the snap before pitching it to Burton as he ran through the backfield. Burton, who played quarterback in high school, was then to lob a pass to the end zone.
“I vividly remember standing next to Doug [Pederson] and thinking he was going to call it,” Burton said. “And then he didn’t call it.” “I ran to the sidelines after celebrating with Nick in the end zone and Brent Celek ran up to me,” Burton said. “He grabbed my helmet and started shaking me saying, ‘You threw a touchdown in the Super Bowl.’ That’s when it clicked for me like holy crap.
Burton leaned on his faith as an NFL longshot and baptized teammates during the Eagles’ run to the Super Bowl. It was no secret that season that a large group of players shared a strong bond over religion. And that, Burton said, helped him control his anxiety when he was throwing a pass on the biggest stage.
The injury was later ruled a sports hernia and required surgery. Burton said it basically ended his career. The 31-year-old Burton, who last played in 2020, has yet to officially retire. The rumblings that he missed the game against the Eagles because of his anxiety were not easy, but Burton leaned again on his faith.
