Eagles rookie has a pet camel, and fans want it in the next Super Bowl parade image

The Philadelphia Eagles just had a Super Bowl parade, but something was missing.

They didn't have a camel.

If they win again, that can be fixed.

Fourth-round rookie Ty Robinson out of Nebraska has a pet camel. Seriously.

Robinson revealed how he got it in a 2023 interview with 1011 Now:

"The story is that my neighbor back home, he needed somewhere to put the camel I came home one day after school and I looked down on my backyard and I about 100 yards away and I went out there and walked in like, really camel in my backyard."

And yes, there's an old picture.

Look at that camel grin. He knows his guy Ty is heading to the NFL. Fans have already been begging Robinson to bring the camel to what they hope is a very-soon next Eagles championship parade.

The 6-foot-6 Robinson is a huge presence on the defensive line.

In his final year with the Cornhuskers, he recorded career-highs in tackles (37), tackles for loss (13) and sacks (7).

The Eagles have to keep him around if for no other reason than his awesome pet.

And if Robinson can play a little bit, too, all the better.
