MINNEAPOLIS, MN – FEBRUARY 04: Nelson Agholor
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – FEBRUARY 04: Nelson Agholor /

Most Improved: Nelson Agholor

Regular Season Stats: 95 targets, 62 receptions, 768 yards, 8 touchdowns

Postseason Stats: 18 targets, 15 receptions, 167 yards, 0 touchdowns

Of all these awards, this one was probably the easiest. Sure, players like Patrick Robinson had a huge turnaround from training camp to the regular season. However, Nelson Agholor went from almost being a non-factor in the passing game to a key contributor. He established himself as a premier slot receiver in the NFL and much like Jake Elliott, came through when the Eagles needed him most.

Agholor was tied for second on the team in touchdowns and had a key third-down catch almost every game. Those catches are what sustained drives and helped the Eagles to third in the NFL in scoring. After a rough two years, Agholor has really turned his career around. He is having fun playing football again and has the right state of mind. At only 24 years old, Agholor still has some of his best years left in him.
