To say the Eagles’ wide receiver picture has changed significantly in the matter of an offseason is to appreciate just how top-to-bottom different the room is on a daily basis. From free agency, through the NFL Draft, and with internal improvement, the wide receiver group is, arguably, the most improved position on the roster.
“Pretty accurate statement,” head coach Doug Pederson said.
Signing Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith in free agency, drafting Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson in April, and having players like Nelson Agholor and some of the other holdovers step up in the spring give the Eagles a sense of excitement and confidence about the wide receivers as a whole.
