J.J Arcega-Whiteside hasn’t exactly had the greatest of starts to his NFL career. His rookie year was dismal and his 2020 season highlight was making a key block on a Miles Sanders touchdown. It just so happens that Nick Sirianni craves that quality in his receivers.

At this point, most people have given up on JJAW – the Eagles’ second-round pick from 2019. He was effectively redshirted as a rookie in order to learn the playbook from every spot, while Alshon Jeffery’s confusingly guaranteed salary put a glass ceiling over his head. This, partnered with injuries we later learned about, resulted in a year where he tallied 169 yards and just one touchdown.
