Nelson Agholor is Catching Everything Thrown His Way in 2020
Published:
The Eagles could use another receiver that locates the football and secures the catch.
Somebody like… Nelson Agholor!
No, seriously, Nelly is catching everything thrown his way this year. He has ten receptions for 185 yards and three touchdowns and he’s on pace for his best season since the 2017 Super Bowl campaign.
Look at this ridiculous stat:
231 NFL players have been targeted at least 8 times this season.
There is only ONE player who has netted a perfect passer rating (158.3) when targeted…

That is outrageous. That’s craaazy, as the guy from the Jim Sipala Kia commercials would say.
The Eagles right now only have one receiver who is catching passes anywhere close to the same frequency as Agholor, and that’s Old Dominion walk-on Travis Fulgham. DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery have been injured and basically nonexistent this season, UNLIKE AGHOLOR, who is a pass catching machine out in Las Vegas.
