Despite finishing second on the team in receiving yards last season, Olamide Zaccheaus was not retained by the Atlanta Falcons over the offseason. The former undrafted free agent out of Virginia eventually signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Eagles.
Zaccheaus got off to a slow start through Philadelphia’s first two games, but he was on the receiving end of an incredible touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts on Monday night.

Hurts stands in the pocket and delivers to Zacchaeus!

Jalen Hurts stays in the pocket and makes good things happen.
Hurts avoided being taken down three times there to find Olamide Zaccheaus for 24 yards.
Great pocket awareness.#Eagles
