The BestNelson Agholor, WR, Eagles
The rookie reeled in his first NFL touchdown catch on Sunday, and it was a good one. Agholor got behind the defense for a 53-yard reception and then enjoyed touching professional pay dirt for the first time with an emphatic celebration. Agholor is playing his best at just the right time for the Eagles, who are in the middle of a playoff push atop the NFC East. He vowed to "do better" after the game, but he also admitted to enjoying the moment. "It helps your confidence," he said. "You're hungry for more." What's he going to do with the touchdown ball? "I might give it to my mom for Christmas. Good Christmas gift."
