Could A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith be the best receiving duo in Eagles history?
Thirty-four years have passed since Mike Quick was one-half of what was supposed to be, and probably should have been, the best wide-receiving duo the Eagles have ever had. It was 1988. Quick had been to five straight Pro Bowls, eclipsing 1,000 receiving yards in a season three times, catching 11 touchdown passes in just 12 games during the strike-truncated 1987 campaign.
“One guy is a big guy who could almost play running back if you needed him to,” Quick said, referring to Brown. “But he’s still nimble and athletic enough to be a highly effective wide receiver. At the line of scrimmage, he’s a powerful guy who can toss you to the side, and you’re going to lose against him because of his strength.“The other guy, his feet are so quick. He’s so nifty and sleek at the line of scrimmage.
