J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a wide receiver no longer.
The 2019 Eagles second-round pick is reporting to Philadelphia’s offseason workout program as a tight end, according to the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. JJAW is said to have “added weight during winter training” so he’s somewhere up above where he was previously listed at 225 pounds.
This news hardly comes as a total shock. No shortage of outside observers have wondered if JJAW might benefit from changing positions.
That being said, one would be naive to think a simple switch is going to totally unlock JJAW’s potential.
