WHEN GREG LEWIS sat down with a Daily News reporter after being hired to coach the Eagles' wide receivers early last year, Lewis was asked what he would emphasize, what he thought was most important, in teaching the position.
"Catching," Lewis said. "Obviously, you want other attributes that you hear people talk about on TV . . . but, at the end of the day, if you can catch, there's an opportunity for you to play receiver in the NFL, particularly with the Eagles."
The Eagles' top three wide receivers, Jordan Matthews, Dorial Green-Beckham and Nelson Agholor, all finished 2016 among the 50 worst in the NFL in drop percentage, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
