3 UTR NCAA WR prospects who add serious speed to Eagles offense
By Brian Cass
If there’s one thing Philadelphia Eagles fans can agree on, it’s that the offense could use a serious upgrade in the speed department next season.
It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles are in desperate need of speed at the wide receiver position. DeSean Jackson‘s return next season should help, but the likelihood of him staying healthy for the entire season is doubtful.
Alshon Jeffery looked like a shell of himself this season, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside didn’t inspire much confidence moving forward and Nelson Agholor will probably hit free agency this offseason. While Greg Ward did stand out towards the end of the year, it’s hard to evaluate just how good he is given his small body of work.
Howie Roseman and the front office will more than likely target a wideout in this year’s draft, probably in one of the first three rounds. They haven’t exactly been great at drafting wide receivers recently, but it’s imperative that they hit on one this season.
Speed and ability to stretch the field should be the focal point of the scouting department’s search during the draft process. Here are three potential speedsters who the Eagles could target once the draft rolls around in April.
