A member of the Society of Human Resource Management, Chris Maddaloni is the owner of Atlantic Personnel, Inc., a regional full-service employment agency that is regarded as one of the top 20 employers in Beaufort County, South Carolina. When he isn’t working, Chris Maddaloni enjoys following college and professional football. He counts the Philadelphia Eagles as his favorite National Football League (NFL) team.

In response to Malik Jackson suffering a season-ending injury during the team’s Week 1 victory over the Washington Redskins, Philadelphia signed veteran free agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence on September 10. Jackson, who won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2015, signed a three-year, $30-million contract with the Eagles last March.

Spence, meanwhile, was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old native of Fort Walton Beach, Florida spent four seasons with the Buccaneers and accumulated 98 tackles, 5.5 quarterback sacks, and three fumble recoveries. He played 16 games with the Miami Dolphins last season and had 42 tackles in addition to two sacks and one fumble recovery.
