Philadelphia Eagles wideout Nelson Agholor has established himself as one of the better slot receivers in the league, but any good player knows you can always get better. With that in mind, Agholor has begun working out with one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game, Randy Moss.

In a video shared to social media last week (via 247 Sports), Agholor could be seen working out with the Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver. In another video, Moss can be seen trying to coach the younger receiver, likely giving him some pointers on what he could do better.
Agholor’s rise in the NFL is one of the more inspirational, as he started out his career in a bad way, dropping tons of passes and eventually needing to sit out various games due to a “mental break.”
Now, however, Agholor is a Super Bowl champion, and one of the better receivers on the Eagles. Last year, he finished with a career-high 64 receptions for 736 yards and four touchdowns. He’ll continue to look to improve upon those numbers, and with quarterback Carson Wentz also looking to come back this season, Agholor will once again have his starting quarterback back in the fold for a contract year.
Although Agholor is currently looking to be paid, the Eagles haven’t begun discussing anything with him yet. With Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Zach Ertz also looking to expand their own roles, it remains to be seen how much Agholor will get on the field.
However, the young receiver has proved he’s ready to continue growing, and looking to the greats to do so.
