After the curtains closed on the NFL Draft, Eagles fans were left purring. Three shiny new wideouts had been drafted and all of them had game-breaking speed. However, their rookie campaigns had all been fairly underwhelming up until around 2 weeks ago. After dismal starts, drops, and a lack of snaps, we’re finally getting to see what the rooks can do.
TCU’s Jalen Reagor was drafted in the first-round, before John Hightower and Quez Watkins became set to join him in Philadelphia on day 3. This was the type of haul fans were begging for. Carson Wentz would have more speed than he knew what to do with, forcing defenses to account for the deep-threat and opening up the field underneath for guys like Miles Sanders and Dallas Goedert.
