Philadelphia Eagles: Which 5 Players Deserve To Start?

Josh Huff, Wide Receiver

The Philadelphia Eagles currently own one of the youngest and most talented group of receivers in the entire league. The team has addressed their receiver issues in the past two drafts by selecting Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor, and Josh Huff. The team has lost back to back pro bowl wideouts in DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and left the team a little thin at receiver. This forced Riley Cooper to become a number 2 wide out and has disappointed to show he can be a solid and consistent starter.

This is where Josh Huff comes into play, the former third round pick flashed potential last season as a receiver and kick returner, but had mental mistakes that would end up hurting the team. Huff’s numbers from last year won’t wow you (8 catches, 98 yards), but if you watch the film you see a player who works his butt off every play whether it’s a run play across the field, or a screen pass to him. Huff has worked hard this offseason and has a had a good spring. If Huff can put the mental side of the game with his physical tools then I fully expect him to earn a starting spot.
