When looking at his ability as a special teamer, it’s easy to forget that Jamal Agnew was showing significant progress as a receiver last year before his unfortunate hip injury in November. He seemed to be an option Trevor Lawrence liked at receiver and his 4.3 speed is something new coach Doug Pederson could take advantage of when Agnew returns to the field.
It looks like the veteran receiver took a step in that direction Monday. In the team’s seventh organized team session, Agnew was on the field and took part in receiver position and special team drills (at least for a few reps). That’s something that reporters hadn’t previously seen from the veteran as he was mostly working out in a weighted vest in previous practices.
