A.J. Brown on addition of Olamide Zaccheaus: The competition is what we needed
Philadelphia has one of the top wide receiver duos in the NFL, and even after two 1,000-yard pass catchers, GM Howie Roseman went out and added Olamide Zaccheaus.
The former Virginia and St. Joe’s Prep pass catcher will compete against Quez Watkins for the third wide receiver spot, and A.J. Brown welcomes the competition.

Zaccheaus averaged 4.8 yards after the catch last season, the 20th-best in the league.
He offers versatility as a route runner and can separate in the short and intermediate areas. The Eagles can utilize his speed to challenge defensive coverage on vertical routes.
