Can This Man be the Hero That Eagles Fans Need at Wide Receiver?
The most Philly soundbite goes to this guy who helped catch children thrown from a window during a fire. pic.twitter.com/3rH69gU2fL

Incredible. Chin up birds fans, the hero we’ve been waiting for has been right in our backyard this whole time. This man has Vince Papale written all over him. “Unsung rookie who gets his big break from NFL team after saving babies from a burning building” is prime time 30 for 30 stuff and I think this guy checks all the boxes for what we’re looking for.
The last two weeks we had guys drop game winning touchdown catches. Some people can get caught up in the lights of a high pressure situation like that, but I don’t think there’s a more high pressure situation then catching babies falling from a burning building and according to my sources (this interview) he didn’t have one drop during the whole incident. That’s a clutch gene you can’t measure at the combine. While this man has caught many children, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Nelson Agholor doesn’t have one single recorded catch of a baby from a burning building. Very questionable stuff. Is he possibly anti-babies? Whose to say, but our hero in this interview certainly isn’t.
After he was done putting on a receiving clinic, this man took the time out of his post-game interview to call out future teammate Agholor. Looking past the dedication it takes to be thinking about the Eagles after literally saving lives from a fire, not many players show this kind of leadership to be able to call out their teammates in order to motivate them to be better, akin to Jason Peters doing something similar on Sunday.
Jason Peters walked right over to Nelson Agholor after his fumble and his words didn't look to be particularly encouraging. Agholor got animated as Brandon Brooks joined the fray to presumably calm nerves. #Eagles

There was nobody harmed during the incident that led to this man’s heroics, much unlike the eagles receivers, whose poor performance on Sunday personally harmed many in the Philadelphia area in an act that could be equivalent to setting every house in the Northeast on fire. He did this while having a rookie QB throwing children to him that night who had almost no previous in-game experience. Impressive stuff from the young prospect.
Basically this man is a savior. Not just just of those children in a very heroic act that should be commended but also of the hopes of Eagles fans everywhere. He’s already a hero off the field, it’s time to sign him and make him a hero on the field as well.
