3 Potential Philadelphia Eagles WR targets who aren’t discussed enough
Put an asterisk next to Robby Anderson‘s name. His has been one that we’ve heard from time to time as he’s been the subject of both trade talks at the most recent deadline and the subject of league-wide praise for being one of the NFL’s best deep threats. Now, he’s being mentioned as one of the best available wide receiver prospects heading into the much-anticipated free agency period.
In the eyes of most, Anderson will be the second-best prospect at his position that’s under the age of 30 behind Amari Cooper. He’s also probably also going to be signed by some team for too many years and for too much money. Philly may want to go with a less-expensive option, but they also want to get better.
This isn’t a group of guys that’s bubbling with talent once you get outside of the top four or five pass catchers, so we can all expect for Anderson and Cooper to get a ton of coin.
Much of the knocks on Anderson revolve around the ideas that are he isn’t great at anything except going deep and he’s also had some concerns off of the playing field. He’s also slim, which makes fans worry about injuries, but he would give Philly the deep threat that they’ve lacked without DeSean Jackson. He’s also very familiar to Philadelphia and their fans, being from New Jersey and having played his college ball with the Temple Owls.
Keep an eye on him. He’s been talked about off and on by Eagles fans, but he’ll get discussed more often as March approaches. Circle his name on your own lists. It’s probably safe to assume that the Eagles will do the same.
