Eagles WR Nelson Agholor could find a role as kickoff returner

After underachieving in his first two seasons with the Eagles and watching the team add players ahead of on the team, wide receiver Nelson Agholor must be a role player for the Eagles in 2017. One new role he could fill is as a kick returner.

“It’s great,” Agholor said. “If I can get the ball in my hands, that’s what I want to do. I’m creative. If I catch it, I want to go.”

Agholor added that to his duties late last season after the Eagles cut Josh Huff. He returned five kicks for 92 yards, with a long of 27 yards.
