Who needs an elite receiver?

THE ENTIRE vibe changed when Ricky and the Rev showed up for training camp.

In the early days of the 22-year run of the Jeffrey Lurie Era, those two skilled players legitimized the Eagles as a viable NFL team: Ricky Watters and Irving Fyrar.

Watters' "For who, for what?" legacy clouds the magnificence of his three-year stretch as the Eagles' premier player. The bizarre nature of Fryar's life post-Eagles - his unretirement from football; the church he founded; his recent conviction on mortgage fraud charges - clouds the fact that he was the Eagles' only Pro Bowl receiver for an 11-year span.
