But at the Philadelphia Eagles training complex in Philadelphia after introducing him at a press conference following signing the extension, Landon Dickerson said,'I think I'm gonna get me a new lawnmower. ' People thought he was joking. Most players talk about vacations or cars after signing a huge contract. But Landon Dickerson, known for his calm and funny personality, seemed serious. On social media, the quote quickly gained traction. The down-to-earth attitude of NFL supporters drew them in, and they began posting images and films honoring his statement. Some even called him a 'legend' for keeping things simple.
