Over the last two drafts, the Eagles spent first, second, and third round picks on Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews, and Josh Huff, respectively. Beyond the three young guys, the Eagles have almost nothing in the way of depth.
It is a near certainty that the Eagles will add help in free agency at the wide receiver position, and according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, former Rams and Ravens WR Chris Givens will be coming to the NovaCare Complex for a visit.
Givens had a very productive season as a rookie, but his career has been on a downward trajectory since. His numbers:
Chris Givens | Rec | Yards | YPC | TD |
2012 | 42 | 698 | 16.6 | 3 |
2013 | 34 | 569 | 16.7 | 0 |
2014 | 11 | 159 | 14.5 | 1 |
2015 | 20 | 353 | 17.7 | 1 |
TOTAL | 107 | 1779 | 16.6 | 5 |
The Eagles don't have much in the way of receivers who can stretch the field vertically. Givens ran a 4.41 40 at the 2012 Combine and he has a 16.6 yards per catch average for his career. He also has three years of experience playing alongside Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford.
Givens is listed at 6'0, 203, and he just turned 26 in December.
