Philadelphia Eagles rookie receiver Quez Watkins made his second career reception count, breaking off a screen pass for a 32-yard touchdown early in the second quarter against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Facing a third-and-20, quarterback Jalen Hurts flipped it out to Watkins, who did a spin move before darting down the left sideline behind a cavalry of blockers.

Watkins, a sixth-round pick out of Southern Miss, was part of the "track-team" receiving corps built by general manager Howie Roseman this offseason. He ran a 4.35 40-yard dash at the scouting combine and showed off his speed on the play.
