Is Agholor actually making Eagles remorse letting him go? initially appeared on NBC Sports activities Philadelphia

The Eagles are struggling mightily after two weeks, and to make issues even worse, some people are making Nelson Agholor’s redemption story sound like the best comeback of all-time.

Is Agholor actually making the Eagles appear like fools for transferring on from him after 5 years in Philly?

Hmm.

On Monday night time, Agholor made a stable play in area, which shortly went mini-viral on Philadelphia sports activities Twitter:

Then, on Tuesday morning, NFL Community’s Good Morning Soccer was reacting to the Raiders’ Monday night time win over the Saints when the theme of second-chance gamers was introduced up, and Agholor acquired a shoutout:

“Nelson Agholor is a punchline in Philadelphia. Nelson Agholor made extra performs on Monday night time than any of the Eagles’ receivers did in any of their two losses the primary two weeks.”

Alright, we’re all going to wish to settle down actual fast.

By two video games, the Raiders are 2-Zero and look higher than most individuals anticipated. Derek Carr is enjoying some stable soccer. Josh Jacobs is an elite operating again. Darren Waller is an elite tight finish.

What about Nelson Agholor?

He is performed 27 snaps, and has two catches on two targets for 42 yards and a landing. Not precisely world-beating stuff.

However that is what occurs when social media highlights go viral, and followers – and media? – run with these highlights. Each of Agholor’s catches this 12 months have had somewhat little bit of the “wow” issue, at the very least at first look, so it is easy to really feel like he is rolling with the Raiders.

In actuality, the landing in Week 1 was an excellent throw from Carr into single protection towards a rookie cornerback, an apparent win for any replacement-level vast receiver:

I assure Jalen Reagor does the identical factor in that state of affairs.

And the catch-and-run on Monday night time was a catch one yard past the road of scrimmage, with an excellent run after the catch. That is nothing new. Eagles followers know Agholor could be explosive.

Eagles followers additionally know Agholor does stuff like this:

Nelson Agholor had eight catches for 107 and a TD. However what’s going to get remembered, and rightfully so, is that this brutal drop with the sport on the road

May Nelly take the momentum (if you wish to name it that?) from these two early-season catches and switch it into a pleasant little bounce again 12 months in Las Vegas? Certain, it is doable. He is nonetheless astoundingly gifted as a pure athlete.

However we must be sincere: Agholor has two catches in two weeks. The Eagles aren’t lacking something.
