For Nelson Agholor, it’s never been a question of talent.
The Eagles wide receiver is fast enough. He’s agile enough. And he’s smart enough. Sometimes it takes a fresh perspective to remind a struggling player of what it was that got him to the NFL in the first place.
“Nelson Agholor’s a first-round pick,” new Eagles receivers coach Mike Groh said, “and he’s got first-round talent.”
After his first two seasons, many had used a different noun following “first-round.” But if the adage of draft selections needing three years before they can be effectively evaluated applies, then Agholor has another season to deliver upon untapped talent and avoid the “bust” label.
