The Philadelphia Eagles added several big named weapons on both sides of the ball but none more explosive than former TCU star wideout, Jalen Reagor.
The talented and speedy wideout was brought to Philadelphia to provide a DeSean Jackson explosiveness to the receiving corps.
Reagor is already respected for his athletic prowess and during a recent breakdown of dangerous new weapons in the NFL by Bleacher Report, the No. 21 overall pick fit the bill for the Birds.
The Philadelphia Eagles struggled to field healthy receivers toward the end of the 2019 season. That should be less of a concern this year with rookie first-round pick Jalen Reagor in the fold.
Reagor, DeSean Jackson, and Alshon Jeffery should forge a capable receiving corps for quarterback Carson Wentz. The rookie’s skill set perfectly complements Jackson and Jeffery.
“He’s electric with the ball in his hands, so getting it to him quickly rather than asking him to consistently make plays for himself as a ball-winner could be crucial,” NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein wrote.
With Jackson stretching the field and Jeffery playing the role of a possession receiver, Reagor should thrive as the explosive underneath option.
Reagor’s athletic ability and dynamic playmaking ability should allow him to have a quicker impact on the Eagles offense than JJ Arcega-Whiteside did in 2019. You could see Reagor eclipse Arcega-Whiteside’s rookie production in the first few games as well.
Reagor will most certainly make an immediate impact on special teams and in the screen and RPO games.
