Former South Carolina star starting to heat up for new NFL team

After making a sensational 53-yard touchdown catch last week, former South Carolina Gamecocks star Alshon Jeffery might be finding his groove with the Philadelphia Eagles.

After getting off to a slow start with his new team, Jeffery is starting to make the Eagles look wise for adding the free agent receiver in the offseason. Jeffery scored another touchdown in impressive fashion in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.

As he did against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 29, Jeffery found an opening down the right sideline against the Broncos’ vaunted pass defense. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz faked a handoff before rolling to his right on an option-read play and hitting Jeffery in stride as he streaked down the sideline untouched for a 32-yard touchdown.
