1. Reagor should see additional passes as a rookie

In time, Philadelphia would love nothing more than to see Reagor develop into the top option in the passing game since he was a first-round pick for a reason.

But unlike some other situations across the league, Reagor will be able to wait at least a year or two before he is handed this responsibility since there are numerous options ahead of him as far as Wentz’s favorite targets are concerned.

From the veteran duo at wideout in Jackson and Jeffery to one of the league’s most exciting duos at tight end on the rise in Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, it’s crazy to think how Reagor could be considered the fifth-best option in the passing game as a rookie.

Not to mention, if this does in fact turn out to be the case for Reagor, this could also mean the rookie wideout will most likely benefit from seeing additional passes thrown in his direction if opposing defenders are more focused on the whereabouts of his teammates.

If this happens to be the case, Reagor’s numbers could very well turn out to be better than expected as a rookie for Philadelphia, and put the team in better position at wide receiver for years to come if he manages to get better with experience.

Once again, Reagor will be viewed as a long shot to win Offensive Rookie of the Year with all of the talented players he will have to compete with in 2020, but also with all these factors in mind, it sure is possible.
