The Philadelphia Eagles Select Nelson Agholor In First Round

Nelson Aghlor, the wide receiver from USC is the Philadelphia Eagles first-round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Birds didn’t move up or down in the picking order and selected Agholor with the 20th overall pick.

The 21-year old wide receiver was the most high-profile offensive player of USC and was ranked in the Top-5 of this draft’s wide receiver class. Agholor was projected to go between picks no.20 and no.40, so the Eagles didn’t make a huge reach this year with their first round pick.

Nelson Aglolor had 104 receptions for 1313 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
