The Eagles took wide receiver Nelson Agholor in the first round of the 2015 draft and gave him plenty of snaps over the course of the season, but, much like everything else Eagles-related last year, Agholor’s season was a disappointment.

Agholor caught 23 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown and missed three games in the middle of the season with an ankle injury that teammate Jordan Matthews says robbed Agholor of his explosiveness. The combination of injury and the overall shortcomings of the Eagles offense could explain Agholor’s ho-hum production, but Agholor knows that whatever went wrong last year has to change this time around.

“We need to win football games, and I need to prove that I can help this team win football games. So that’s what I have to prove,” Agholor said, via the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Only people I have something to prove to are the guys in this locker room, this organization, and this team.”

The Eagles added Chris Givens and Rueben Randle as free agents this offseason, which means competition for snaps but Agholor should still be in line for plenty of time with Riley Cooper out of the picture. How long that remains the case with a regime that didn’t make him a first-round pick will come down to Agholor’s ability to make a leap in his second season.
