Why Eagles WR Nelson Agholor has to step up in 2019

It’s been a rollercoaster of a career for Eagles WR Nelson Agholor. Drafted with the 20th overall pick back in 2015 by former Eagles Head Coach Chip Kelly, he came into Philadelphia with lofty expectations. The former USC Trojan finished his 2014 season with 1,313 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 104 receptions. Not bad for a junior wideout who seemed to be on the verge of something spectacular before leaving USC.

In Agholor’s first season as an Eagle, the young WR was part of a group that was infamously known for dropping passes consistently. At the age of 22, the young receiver finished his rookie season far below the projected expectations.
