2. How does right around 1,000 yards receiving sound if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan?

In a world where so many people play Madden and Fantasy football, we all tend to obsess over numbers. That’s why it’s hard to forget that Reagor posted 31 receptions, 396 receiving yards, one touchdown as a receiver, 94 return yards on four punt returns, and another touchdown as a returner (the aforementioned sprint to the goal line at Lambeau Field) while the man who was taken one spot after him, Justin Jefferson, hauled in 88 receptions for 1400 yards and seven touchdowns.

Sure, Jefferson played in all 16 games, but that has little to do with the disparity. Fear not if you’re an Eagles fan though. These two might seem as though they’re on unequal footing, but, as mentioned earlier, 18 will close the gap some in 2021.

So, you like numbers huh? How do these sound? In 2021, Reag will more than double his offensive output as he settles into his role and another year with Aaron Moorehead. He’ll also develop more chemistry with Jalen Hurts. By the time the curtain closes on the regular season, 18 will have posted just under 1,000 receiving yards and six trips to paydirt. he’ll even create a little controversy in the process.
