After selecting three wide receivers and trading for a fourth, Howie Roseman stood pat on the fact that Alshon Jeffery will be an Eagle this season. The Eagles drafted Jalen Reagor in the first round to finally give Carson Wentz the deep-threat he deserves. In doing so, you now have a unique pairing of DeSean Jackson and Jalen Reagor on the outside, opposite of one another. Why stop there? Two burners on the outside and two prolific tight ends on the inside.
J Arcega-Whiteside, to slip into. A possession receiver holding down the fort, JJAW may benefit from weaker CB matchups with all attention being diverted to the rapid receivers elsewhere.
If he can even so much as prove himself worthy of a starting spot, there may not be a role for Alshon to return to. He still has the best hands and most explosive jump-ball skills in the draft. He's much more efficient going up for the ball than both Justin Blackmon and Michael Floyd. His "weight" now an official pounds and "work ethic" one of the hardest-working players on the South Carolina team were unjustly called into question.
He's the perfect example of a player who did nothing wrong personally, yet had his draft stock plummet due to talking heads. His game tape speaks for himself. He's a 6'4", pound man with amazing hands, excellent college production and now a fast yard time to add to his resume. He won't be one of the first two receivers taken, but he should be.
Looking ahead to , the hope is that Jeffery can stay healthy and bounce back with a solid year. Carson Wentz, when healthy, can be a top-notch quarterback himself.
If both players stay healthy, a big year is a very real possibility for Jeffery. At and nearly pounds, Jeffery can still create mismatches against almost any defensive back he faces. He can jump over most defenders, which makes him a massive deep threat. With Wentz, the Eagles love to throw the ball deep and take shots, which favors a healthy version of Jeffery.
A full offseason of recovery should mean a percent healthy version of Jeffery to start the season. DeSean Jackson will also be back on the field after dealing with his own injury issues in
