This offseason has been a transformative one for the Eagles wide receiver room. Nelson Agholor was released and three speedy wideouts were added through the draft, along with a trade for Marquise Goodwin. The need for speed was certainly quenched, but where does this leave JJ Arcega-Whiteside?
The 57th overall selection one year ago endured a tumultuous rookie campaign. Built like a clone of Alshon Jeffery and bringing a near-identical skillset to the table out of Stanford, JJAW was assumed to be the future WR1…until the Eagles guaranteed Alshon’s 2020 salary and tried to redshirt Arcega-Whiteside under the guise of getting him to learn the playbook from every WR position.
