The Philadelphia Eagles improved their offense immensely this offseason with the signing of free agent wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.

Jeffrey has impressed coaches and teammates since signing a one-year deal with Philadelphia in March. If he can remain healthy, the 27-year-old wideout could help Carson Wentz take the Eagles offense to another level in 2017.

Coach Doug Pederson shared what he has learned about Jeffery since the former Bear joined the team.

“I’ll tell you one thing — just his attention to detail, his focus, his drive. [It] feels like and seems like that he’s eager and ready to go, kind of champing at the bit a little bit with my decision to kind of rest him during camp,” Pederson said on Monday.

Jeffery played in just two of Philadelphia’s four preseason games. The Eagles are wisely focused on keeping him healthy for the regular season.

He has had injury issues throughout his career and was dealing with a shoulder injury training camp. Jeffrey’s height and ability to make plays downfield will be great for quarterback Carson Wentz’s development — but only if the receiver is on the field.

“He’s obviously a big target. You just go back — I spent the last couple days just watching his targets over the last couple of seasons, just seeing how he runs routes, how he plays on game day. It’s exciting to watch him,” Pederson said.”He’s a big, physical guy that we’re excited to have on our team. Really look forward to he and Carson connecting and doing some good things.”

Wentz and Jeffery connected on four receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in the preseason.

Jeffery excels at going up and getting the football, a trait Wentz’s weapons didn’t have last year. The second-year Eagles quarterback can feel comfortable tossing the ball up to Jeffery in tough situations this season.

Jeffery was asked if he believes his chemistry with Wentz has suffered because the two didn’t get a ton of preseason time together.

“I’ve been here for a couple months now, so I think that nips that chemistry (concern) in the bud. We’ve been here, we’ve been working each and every day,” Jeffery said on Monday. “Everything’s been great.”
