The moment in the spotlight isn’t over yet for a Philadelphia Eagles fan who stumbled into fame as a viral video star after running into a subway pillar earlier this year. Jigar Desai is now the subject of an NFL digital short feature, shot ahead of the Eagles game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 28. Passenger video of his fan fail took off on social media, prompting everything from Philly sports pride to general mockery. With the Eagles going on to win the first Super Bowl and Dawkins being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, “I couldn’t have scripted a better ending,” he said. “The piece focused on him and his love of the Eagles,” said Brenna Webb, spokeswoman for NFL Media, of the short film.
