Jalen Reagor will enter the NFL with plenty of name recognition, a father who was a solid player in the league, and the chance to take the top of off NFL defenses from day-one.
The former TCU wideout was the Eagles first-round pick for a reason and if he can duplicate his acumen for making big-time plays, Reagor could be in the running for the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Reagor definitely has a chance to make an impact as a rookie and the speed demon landed at No. 23 on an NFL.com list of rookies positioned for success in 2020.
23) Jalen Reagor, WR, Philadelphia Eagles: Reagor is that speedy deep threat the Eagles sorely lacked last season after DeSean Jackson was lost to injury. Now he gets to team with DJax to take the top off of defenses every week. We can identify with the folks who were stunned to see Reagor drafted before Justin Jefferson (who’s ranked quite a bit higher than Reagor on this list) but, hey, Philly’s first-rounder can do some serious damage, too! We’re expecting fireworks when Carson Wentz connects with this blazer.
Reagor will benefit from playing with a quarterback who loves the deep ball and play-callers who’ll definitely know how to get the football in hands. All in his punt return and special teams abilities and Reagor should shine from day-1.
