Eagles Draft Guy Not Named Marcus Mariota

After trying and trying and trying and trying and failing to move up into the number two spot to get Marcus Mariota, the Eagles sat back and let their #20 pick come to them. And with that 20th pick, Chip and crew chose WR Nelson Agholor out of USC.
Agholor, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks, “seems like a culture fit with the Eagles.” He’s a 6-foot, 185-pound speedster who also has return experience. Shorr-Parks said many teams had Agholor as the second best receiver in the draft, and you can find out some more on him here. He is not Marcus Mariota.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
