Eagles' Chip Kelly says Nelson Agholor 'did a good job'

NELSON AGHOLOR'S NFL debut probably was not everything he'd always dreamed of, or everything that NFL observers might have expected from the Eagles' first-round rookie.

Agholor played 59 snaps, second among Eagles receivers only to Jordan Matthews, who was on the field for 63 of a possible 74. But Matthews caught 10 passes for 102 yards, on 13 targets. Agholor was targeted twice, caught one pass, for 5 yards.

Fans saw in the preseason, when Agholor put on the jets and took his first catch to the house, 34 yards against the Ravens, that the rookie has the potential to make game-breaking plays.
