Jalen Reagor made his debut on SportsRadio94WIP on Friday morning with Angelo Cataldi and the Morning Show, speaking confidently.
"My versatility," Reagor said when asked about the best part of his game. "I play the game very aggressive, the way I go up and get the ball, the way I play, and ultimately I'm a great teammate. I'm looking forward to it."
The Eagles selected the 21-year-old WR out of TCU with the 21st overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Reagor talked about his semi-disappointing 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine.
"I had gained maybe like ten pounds and I was just being exhausted from the combine, but I got a chance to re-run my 40 at my virtual Pro Day. Ultimately, I feel like it chalks up to game speed," Reagor explained. "The film is more important than anything."
Reagor's 40-yard dash speed was 4.47, which is good (74th-percentile), but not elite especially for a 5'11" player. However, his burst score -- which means stop-and-start acceleration -- is 140.4 (99th percentile). That is in fact, elite.

Reagor's father, Montae, played defensive tackle in the NFL for three teams including the Eagles and let his son know about playing in Philadelphia.
"I know how the people love the game of football, love their players, and love to win. I agree with, they may be a little negative, but the fans they want to see us do great and that'll just push me to go a little further.
"Philly gonna be getting a great competitor, a great player, a great teammate, a great dude for the community," Reagor said. "That's the ultimate thing I'm gonna do, compete at all times."
