The other receivers

With all eyes on the breathtaking #81, Sports Illustrated's Peter King offers this very encouraging observation of another Eagles' WR: "I think Freddie Mitchell is one heck of a football player. You talk about having a great training camp, fearless and sure-handed. He's catching everything, even the impossible balls. He might be having the best camp of any player I've seen this summer."

High praise indeed. Maybe the TO effect is having some some spillover in the receiving corps and is pushing First down Freddie to fulfill his God-given potential. If so, signing TO isn't just adding one free agent, it's like getting 1 1/2 players in the deal. Or maybe Freddie's 4th and 26 catch vs. Green Bay last year was the very thing to give him the confidence and kick start he needed and it's carrying through to this year. Either way, it is very encouraging. Let's hope he keeps it up.
