Vikings v Eagles tonight. Maybe Reagor can pop a punt return against the team that drafted him. The Vikings picked Justin Jefferson immediately after Reagor and Philly fans are still pissy about it, understandably—Jefferson is terrific and DURABLE, so far.
Drafting Jalen Reagor left the Eagles spending big to catch up while Justin Jefferson became an elite talent playing on a rookie deal.

“So it was no surprise when, during a training camp practice this August, a middle-aged man enthusiastically called out "Reagor!" as the receiver passed close by, causing Reagor, 23, to offer back a thumbs-up. But the fan followed by yelling: "You suck!" stirring a few chuckles but mostly stunned silence from nearby fans. Reagor responded by putting his hands together and bowing his head as if in prayer as he walked away. That's how it went for him in Philadelphia, practically from day one.”
Good video of the Vikings’ draft day enthusiasm when Philly passed on Jefferson—Vikings GM, Spielman, along with coaches Zimmer and Kubiak in the video. Vikings thought Eagles would likely take Jefferson and were thus discussing trading down, until the Eagles picked Reagor.
