The Facts: HC Doug Pederson believes Jeffery's presence will help the other wide receivers on the roster. "For us, he brings some leadership into that room, and makes that room better," Pederson said. "The experience is obviously a big factor in what we're doing, and he can lead by example. We have young guys, and this will give our young guys an ability to really watch a guy not only practice but play, and create that competition that we talk about all the time."

Diehards Line: Jeffery also can make the other receivers better because they are not burdened with the need to be the top receiver. And even though Peterson would not say that second-year QB Carson Wentz needed a wide receiver like the two-time Pro Bowler to reach the next level at quarterback, it undoubtedly upgrades the offense. The coach said he'll have a better sense this spring of the connection between Wentz and Jeffery. But Jeffery said when he signed that his job is to help Wentz win the MVP and that’s not a bad thing.
