All the hype during OTAs and Training Camp but by god, Nelson Agholor delivered.
Agholor hauled in six passes for 86 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown following Carson Wentz’s miraculous scramble. Four of his receptions came on third down. Agholor’s routes were crisp, he got separation and played with a confidence and swagger we haven’t seen from him during his first three years in the NFL

What if he becomes the Brandon Graham of the offense?
While the Kansas City Chiefs have an intimidating defense led by Justin Houston, they do have a big weakness at slot cornerback with Phillip Gaines. It was something the New England Patriots exposed during the season opener, with Danny Amendola totaling 100 yards on six receptions before departing the game late in the third quarter.
Look at the easy separation he got on Gaines on these two completions.
New England had led 24-21 when Amendola got hurt and lost its rhythm on offense. The Chiefs, meanwhile, ripped off 21 points in the fourth quarter and stunned the Pats 42-27. Agholor could very well play a key part again.
