Zaccheaus signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in 2023 after spending four years in Atlanta.

The South Jersey native was unable to carve out a significant role in Philly’s offense last season, splitting WR3 duties with Quez Watkins and Julio Jones down the stretch. When his number was called, however, Zaccheaus delivered and provided a spark for Jalen Hurts.

With Washington holding the No. 2 overall pick in next month’s draft, Zaccheaus will be a reliable veteran option for whatever quarterback they choose.

Zaccheaus has logged 104 receptions for 1,492 yards (14.3 YPC) and 10 TDs across his five-year career.
