“I’ve worn the face paint and shoulder pads -- every game, home and away.”

The "In The Zone" series continues in Philadelphia, where Dhani Jones gets to know Shaun Young, the Ultimate Eagles Fan. Young has worn face paint and shoulder pads -- complete with an Eagles jersey and pants -- to every Philly game since 1995.
“When people say that I’m crazy, I agree.”
But his fandom has gone beyond Eagles games. Young and his friends attend the NFL’s Hall of Fame Weekend every year, and use that time to visit the Akron Children’s Hospital, where they donate time and much more to the kids in need.
