Philadelphia Eagles receiver Rueben Randle maintains it's largely about being misunderstood.
The former second-round pick out of LSU had a fairly productive four years with the New York Giants, including a 71-catch (albeit on 127 targets), 938-yard campaign in 2014 before posting a career-high eight touchdowns this past season. Still, he found the free-agent market to be less than bountiful, due in part to concerns about consistency and in some circles, work ethic.
“I understand that. But I feel like I get read wrong because I do a lot of things naturally and it doesn’t seem like I’m giving much effort," he said.
