Report: College assistant in play for Eagles’ wide receivers coach vacancy

Vanderbilt wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead is “one name that keeps popping up” for the Philadelphia Eagles’ wide receivers coach vacancy, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus.

The 39-year-old Moorehead is really the first candidate we’ve seen connected to this opening; it’s previously been pretty quiet on that front.

Moorehead played college football at Illinois before signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2003. He remained with Indy through 2007, so he was part of the Colts’ Super Bowl team in 2006. Moorehead finished his five-year NFL playing career with 31 receptions for 330 yards and one touchdown in 36 games played.
