STACKED’s take
Wicks impresses teammates with TD catch; Barkley calls signing a steal.
Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks impressed in his debut with a 9-yard touchdown catch and has generated significant internal belief. Saquon Barkley called the signing "a steal" and Wicks' debut "a little glimpse of how good he can be." Barkley was so impressed by Wicks' efficient explosiveness and top-of-the-route separation that he asked Wicks to teach him techniques during training camp and said he is "in awe" getting to know him. Jalen Hurts praised Wicks for "beating down the door" to work with him over the summer and highlighted his effort through training camp, saying "You see who's got that anger to them, who's got a little bit of rage — and for the best. He's got it." Wicks carries motivation from his time with the Packers, where coach Matt LaFleur gave him a framed photo of a fourth-and-3 catch that beat Detroit on Thanksgiving.
