I as watching Eli on his show, he is a character and can be very funny

I seem to recall that Eli was a prankster and agitator often teasing other players.

was the last day ever of practice at Albany Camp. When the team came on the field for warmups, there was an SUV right in the middle of the field, LOCKED!

I remember one of the OL during the SB runs

(O'Hara?) telling the story of how Eli got a hold of his cell phone and changed all of the settings to Chinese language. He said it took him hours to change it back.
