PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Headline: Nelson Agholor Among Standouts In Preseason Opener

The rookie wide receiver turned some heads during the Eagles’ preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

What this means for the Redskins: In a rare Sunday afternoon preseason game, the Eagles hosted the Colts in a game that featured several new faces for the Eagles including Agholor, a first-round pick out of USC.

He recorded three receptions for 57 yards, an effort that was highlighted by a 34-yard touchdown on his first catch of the game.

On his touchdown reception, Agholor caught a ball that was almost overthrown, freeing himself from Colts cornerback Greg Toler in the process, and then sprinted into the end zone.
