Max Jean-Gilles (born November 19, 1983 in Miami, Florida) is an American football offensive guard in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was drafted in the fourth round (2nd pick, 99th overall pick) of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Georgia and was an All-America selection in 2005.
[edit] High School Years
Jean-Gilles attended North Miami Beach High School in Miami, Florida and was a letterman in football. In football, he was a two-time first team All-State selection and a two-time first team All-County selection.
[edit] Philadelphia Eagles
Jean-Gilles was drafted in the fourth round with the 99th overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles. Many people did expect him to go higher because of his athleticism and playing ability, but his inability to control his weight might have played into that decision. He and Winston Justice, who was drafted in the second round also by the Eagles, should help with the rebuilding process of the offensive line. On July 10, 2006, Jean-Gilles signed a 4-year contract with the Eagles.
On September 23, 2007, Jean-Gilles made his regular season debut for the Eagles, subbing in for an injured Shawn Andrews.
