Nelson Agholor will actually be useful

The third-year receiver has been horrific in his first two seasons with the Eagles. Agholor, 24, has registered a grand total of 59 receptions for 648 yards and three touchdowns since being drafted in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

But don’t be surprised if he turns things around this year.

Agholor looked impressive during OTAs and seems to have regained his confidence. The difference is night and day, especially for Carson Wentz.

"He’s always been an explosive guy, but, boy, it sure seems like he might have gotten quicker and more explosive this offseason. He’s getting open. It’s good to see. As far as the confidence goes, I’ve always thought he’s a confident player. This spring I think it’s maybe come to another level, but it’s good to get him going along."

It’s unrealistic to assume Agholor will have a breakout season this year, but don’t be shocked if he becomes serviceable at the very least.
