Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is excited about his wide receiver room heading into the 2026 NFL season, despite the departure of AJ Brown.
The Eagles made several WR additions this offseason, including former Green Bay Packers pass catcher Dontayvion Wicks.
While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Sirianni said Wicks reminds him a lot of six-time Pro-Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen.

"Then 'Tay Wicks has this great ability — gosh, there are so many similarities, and again, this is going to be a high praise statement and and I'm not saying he's this guy, but gosh, he reminds me of Keenan Allen," Sirianni said, via team insider Zach Berman of The Athletic. "With the way they are off the line of scrimmage, the way they are at the top of the route, with the way they are with the ball in their hands, he just really reminds me of him in that aspect."
The Eagles acquired Wicks from the Packers in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick. The franchise then signed him on a one-year, $12.5 million extension.

Through three seasons with the Packers, Wicks reeled in 108 catches for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The Eagles will open up their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 13.
