Did Super Bowl 54 emphasize a ‘need for speed’ for the Eagles?

‘The need for speed’ is something that has been linked with the Eagles since day one of the Doug Pederson era. The search for a viable WR2 that can take the top off a defense and force coordinators to give them attention has been an interesting one. Torrey Smith, Mike Wallace, and even DeSean Jackson have all tried to fill the void, but the Eagles are yet to find a long-term option with that blistering top-end speed.

Jackson has two years remaining on the contract he signed with the Eagles, but his 2019 season hardly inspired hope that he’ll be a consistent and reliable fixture on the outside.
