Philadelphia Eagle Gives His Take on the Super Bowl & New App, VEEPIO
Najee Goode is both a linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles and a design engineer for the app VEEPIO. The Super Bowl hopeful joins Cheddar to explain what the Eagles need to do to win on Sunday and why VEEPIO is helping fans be more engaged.
Goode says the Eagles will stop at nothing to win this weekend. As a member of the Eagles' defensive line, he is going to go out and play the best defense possible.
Goode explains that the new app VEEPIO makes fan engagement easier and more streamlined. Fans can interact by tagging content and collaborate on information and fan content. Fans can click on a player's picture and at one moment brag about their favorite player and in the next buy that player's jersey.
Goode says the response from the fans has been incredible. Goode says Philly has the best fans in the world so it is great to see them interact in this way.
Goode explains how tech has been an incredible platform for him and his former teammates to build a career outside of professional footbal.
