What to Expect from Nelson Agholor's Rookie Season with the Eagles

We are spoiled. In 2014 rookie wide receivers were so prolific that rookie wide receivers for the next couple of years will be unfairly compared to them. In a ten year period from 2004-2013, there were 54 rookie WRs who had at least 500 receiving yards. In 2014 alone there were nine. The 2009 draft class was even more prolific, with 11 WRs finishing with over 500 receiving yards. And we are doubly spoiled by Chip Kelly’s offense, which has produced in both of Kelly's two seasons career years from veteran wide receivers. With expectations raised by last year’s rookies, and by Chip Kelly’s offense, of which Jordan Matthews was a part of both, what can we reasonably expect from Nelson Algholor this season?
