Chris Givens signed with Eagles to reunite with Sam Bradford

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Chris Givens said he signed with the Eagles in part because he wanted to reunite with quarterback Sam Bradford.

What It Means:

Givens had the best season of his career as a rookie with Bradford, catching 42 passes for 698 yards and three scores in 2012. He was never able to relocate his form after injuries ended Bradford's time with the then-St. Louis Rams, and he was terribly inefficient (36 percent catch rate) in 12 games with the Baltimore Ravens last year. Givens reportedly showed well both underneath and as a deep threat during the offseason program, so he may have untapped versatility. With just Josh Huff and Rueben Randle to beat for the third receiver job, Givens could find himself in a starting role this season.

The 26-year-old tallied 20 catches for 353 yards and one touchdown with Baltimore and St. Louis in 2015. Unless the Eagles greatly change his usage and production profile, he's a deep-threat option only; he ranked 81st in Reception Net Expected Points per target among the 86 wide receivers in 2015 with at least 50 targets. He had an atrocious 37.04 percent Catch Rate.
