In case this has not been posted
Howie Rosen on Jalen Reagor:
“I just felt like he made plays this summer, and it started right from the beginning, from Day 1 of training camp, and it continued on throughout the practices that we had,” Nick Sirianni said Tuesday after final cuts.
“You could definitely see the explosion — he's never lost that, right? He's had this explosion in his body, and he uses it to separate from the defense.”
Reagor did catch a few deep balls at practice, but he also played 65 snaps in the three preseason games as the Eagles were obviously showcasing him and had five catches for 43 yards.
“I just thought he had a good camp and he made plays and he was more consistent this year throughout training camp,” Sirianni said.
Even though he’s starting his third season, Reagor is actually the youngest receiver on the team.
He’s younger than Allen and Covey — who were older undrafted rookies — and three years younger than Cain. He’s even 49 days younger than DeVonta Smith, last year’s first-round pick.
That’s not a reason to keep him, but it is interesting to note.
“I think when you look at Jalen, one of the things that one of our scouts said to me (Tuesday) is he was one of the only guys that practiced every day,” Roseman said. “The guy brought it every day. He worked on his craft. He had a great attitude, great energy. Obviously, he's a talented guy. He's 23 years old.”
Good kid and works hard. Maybe JJ will rub off on him?
