After a disappointing rookie campaign, there was a lot of hope that J.J Arcega-Whiteside would rebound in 2020. With just 169 receiving yards to his name in year one after the Eagles tried to cross-train him at every WR position before cutting him loose, fans were trying not to draw parallels to another highly drafted WR by the team – Nelson Agholor. But one year later, it might be those comparisons that give him a lifeline.
In his rookie year, Nelson Agholor amassed just 283 yards under Chip Kelly and a catch percentage of 52%. He was getting open constantly, but Sam Bradford would often turn to more reliable options such as Zach Ertz and Jordan Matthews.
