Zaccheaus is expected to compete for snaps out of the slot with Quez Watkins and Greg Ward, as he joins the Eagles' potent offense.
Despite not receiving much attention, he has the potential for greater success with his new team. It will be interesting to see how he performs and contributes to the Eagles in the upcoming 2023 season.
Overall, it's a very nice depth signing for the Eagles as Zaccheaus brings nice versatility to their offense with his ability to also contribute on special teams. Photo Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
