The Philadelphia Eagles exercised their fifth-year option on wide receiver Nelson Agholor, the team announced Monday.

"Nelson has shown how productive he can be and how versatile he is," Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Saturday, according to the Eagles' website. "He really stepped up for us last season. He came into his own. He's got a lot more in him and I'm excited to see what he can do in this offense."

Agholor was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft and is coming off his most productive season.

He totaled 59 receptions for 648 yards receiving and three touchdowns in his first two seasons combined.

However, in 2017, Agholor had 62 catches for 768 yards and eight touchdowns while working primarily as a slot receiver. He also had 15 receptions for 157 yards in three postseason games, including nine catches for 84 yards in the Eagles' 41-33 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
