Jalen Reagor

Reagor was selected one spot before Justin Jefferson at 21st overall by the Eagles in 2020, making it interesting that the former joined the latter via trade before last season. Reagor was mostly limited to special teams in Minnesota, where he served as the team's primary punt returner. On offense, he had just eight catches (on 13 targets) for 104 yards and one touchdown. The Vikings declined Reagor's fifth-year option for 2024, so he's not guaranteed a roster spot this season. He'll try to win the punt return role again in training camp.

In his second season as a pro, Reagor turned in a disappointing 32/299/2 stat line on 57 targets in 17 games -- hardly what was expected of a 2020 first-round pick. The Eagles ended up trading him in late August to Minnesota, where Reagor gets a fresh start and likely will being as only the fourth or fifth receiver on the depth chart.

Last year’s 21st overall draft pick, one spot ahead of Justin Jefferson, Reagor missed the better part of six games and never really got going. His injuries were part of the story, but Carson Wentz’s abysmal quarterback play and the team’s inefficient offense didn’t help. At 5-11, 197, Reagor has average size, and his timed speed (4.47 40) is merely average for his build. He’s an explosive athlete, though — 42-inch vertical, 138-inch broad jump — and he profiles as a downfield playmaker if the Eagles can get him the ball. Jalen Hurts can’t help but be an upgrade over last year’s version of Wentz, and at press time, only tight end Dallas Goedert and rookie DeVonta Smith offer serious competition for looks.

Reagor found a near-ideal landing spot when the Eagles took him with the 21st pick. He has a chance to be their No. 1 wideout before long, especially if they find a taker for Alshon Jeffery. At 5-10, 206, Reagor is stout and compact, and while he ran an above-average 4.47 40 at the combine, he plays even faster on the field. His vertical leap (42 inches) and broad jump (138 inches) show off-the-charts athleticism too. Reagor's college production appears less impressive, until we consider the QB play he dealt with at TCU. Reagor was the Horned Frogs' leading receiver in three consecutive seasons, including a 1,000-yard campaign (2018) in an offense where no one else reached 500. The Eagles typically have spread the ball around in recent years, and tight end Zach Ertz is still the safe bet to lead them in targets, but they didn't draft Reagor in the first round to make him a complement in a committee. He has as good a chance as any rookie receiver to break out in 2020, though it may require some patience after he injured his shoulder at training camp.
