While the Eagles have addressed a glaring need in speedy deep threat receivers there’s an element that has been overlooked as to what the Eagles want these receivers to do. See, the Eagles once traded a 3rd round pick in 2018 for veteran wide receiver Golden Tate. Tate was known for one stat and one stat only, YAC. In layman’s terms, Tate was the king in yards after the catch. That, and that alone, enticed GM Howie Roseman to pull the trigger on the trade. While the world focused on Tate’s role on the team whether it was on the outside or in the slot, Roseman was craving to see the YAC king do this thing.
The Eagles may be ready to become YAC monsters in 2020
