NFL Draft: Eagles select Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson, 3 thoughts
3. J.J. had better make a huge leap in 2020.
Let’s not forget about Mr. Arcega-Whiteside. Much is expected of him in 2020, and all “Birds” fans need to be put on notice. This kid should be fine.
Stop laughing. He will be. Think about something for a second.
The natural response, whenever J.J. is brought up, is to talk about how bad he was and how good Metcalf was. Those of you who are stuck on that need to think about something. He played in a similar offense at Stanford and got worse at it when he turned pro. Why is that?

The Eagles have a new wide receivers coach. They’ve added some wisdom to the coaching staff. J.J. will be fine. You all acknowledge that quarterbacks, linemen =, and cornerbacks need coaching. You do realize that receivers need that too right? Expect more from J.J. Arcega-Whiteside in Year 2. People aren’t just hoping that he takes the next step. he has to, and he will, especially with Reagor around to take the pressure off.
