3 Reasons Jalen Reagor can break Eagles rookie all-purpose yards record

1. This guy’s pretty versatile.

Regardless of where you were with the “Philly should have taken Justin Jefferson over Jalen Reagor debate”, you have to acknowledge several things.

One, Jefferson is a slot guy at the NFL level. Second, Reagor can play both inside and outside. Third, Reagor separates from defenders better. Fourth, Reagor can contribute on special teams as well. In other words, Philly can get the ball in the hands of Reagor in more ways than just one.

Imagine Reagor trotting onto the field to handle a few punts. Imagine Reagor taking a handoff from Wentz on a jet sweep out of a spread formation. Imagine Reagor taking a screen pass. Guys and gals, this dude is going to get his hands on the ball a lot, and the possibilities are endless.

At TCU, Reagor tallied 2,572 yards from scrimmage, both rushing and receiving, on 183 plays. He contributed 409 yards and two touchdowns on 23 punt returns. He stacked another 315 yards on 13 career kick returns. The only dilemma about the Horned Frogs’ gameplan is how come they didn’t get the ball to this guy on special teams more often?

It may be too early to say this, but we could be looking at DeSean Jackson 2.0.
