Eagles need production from wideout Nelson Agholor

Nelson Agholor was one of the least productive wide receivers in the NFL last season.

There wasn't a receiver with as many routes run that averaged fewer yards. And there were only eight receivers with as many targets that had a worse DYAR ranking (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement), as calculated by the advanced statistics website Football Outsiders.

There will be more on that information later, but even if numbers were taken out of the equation, Agholor's season wouldn't score high on the eyeball exam. He played starter's snaps, but was virtually absent for long stretches. And when he did show up, it was almost as often for a penalty or dropped pass as it was for a standout catch.
