NFL Free Agency: Grading All the Moves from Day One
By Eric Gamboa
Alshon Jeffery
Whenever you can sign a premier, speed WR and combine that with a physically dominating WR you know you are winning free agency. The Philadelphia Eagles not only signed Torrey Smith giving them a great deep receiving threat, they also signed Alshon Jeffery who has a PFF grade of 77.6.
Also, Jeffery is only 27 years old, meaning he is just now entering the prime of his career.
What is also very exciting when it comes to Jeffery is that his game is predicated on speed. His game is based on route-running, strong hands and using his six-foot-four frame to box out defenders.

Quite simply, any team that landed Jeffery was bound to get an A on their free agency report card, unless there totally messed up the contract.
Even here, the Eagles got a great deal from Jefferey. Jeffery is a special talent and quite possibly the best WR in the whole free agency class. Looks like the Eagles got their QB some dangerous weapons for 2017.
The Eagles needed to get their second-year QB Carson Wentz some weapons and they decided to go and get him some lethal weapons. The deadliest free agent WR is Alshon Jeffery. Standing at six-foot-four and weighing 230 pounds, Jeffery is the heavyweight of the WR free-agent class. Barring injury, Jeffery looks poised to have a great year.. WR. Philadelphia Eagles. ALSHON JEFFERY. A+
