Agholor locked up with 4-year deal

Philadelphia,  PA -- The Philadelphia  Eagles announced on Thursday that they have reached agreement with their big-name draftee, wide receiver Nelson Agholor, on a four-year contract.

Agholor was selected with the 20th overall pick by the Birds in last week's draft, after a three-year stint with Southern California.

In his junior campaign, he totaled career bests of 104 receptions, 1,313 yards and 12 touchdowns. Agholor departed USC having racked up 179 catches for 2,571 yards and 20 TDs, while also contributing four punt returns for scores.

With the signing, the Eagles have locked up four of their 2015 draft selections. The only players outstanding are third-round choice and linebacker Jordan Hicks along with cornerback JaCorey Shepherd who was taken in the sixth round.
