Jalen Reagor tired of constant comparisons to Justin Jefferson
By STEVEN TARANTO
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Though he's only played in four games so far due to injuries, there have been some signs to suggest that the Philadelphia Eagles have a good playmaker on their hands in rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor: The No. 21-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has caught 12 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown with an average of 13.3 yards per reception despite the circumstances that have kept him off the field and turned the Eagles' offense into a plodding and uninspiring unit.
