Playing the Eagles in Philadelphia:
Last time Case Keenum played in Philly the Vikings got smoked in the NFC Title Game. I asked Case about returning to Philly.

“I remember that feeling.”
Keenum’s magical 2017 ride in Minnesota ended with a bad playoff loss in philly. First start with the Skins will be in Philly. He says he definitely remembers that game; uses it as motivation.

Chemistry:
Keenum mentioned his reps throughout OTA's and training camp with multiple offensive units have proved invaluable in developing his chemistry with receivers and tight ends.
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) August 25, 2019
Keenum says he actually loved how camp played out, never really establishing a true starting unit. It allowed him to get reps with a ton of guys, many of whom will play in November and December when the games matter most.
