One of the NFL‘s slowest teams in 2019, the Philadelphia Eagles made their intentions clear in the most recent draft and with the moves that they made afterward. The goal was to get younger and faster, especially on offense. Jalen Reagor, John Hightower, and Quez Watkins all heard their names called over three days. Philly also traded for Marquise Goodwin on Day 3. Then, Michael Warren II, Khalil Tate, Manasseh Bailey, and Adrian Killins Jr. were all added shortly after Round 7 concluded.
That “slow receiver corps” the Eagles have sure looks a lot faster now, especially when you factor in DeSean Jackson’s expected to return in 2020, but the battle at running back might be something “Birds” fans want to pay attention to.
