The city of Philadelphia has often times caught a bad rap for their sports fans. Eagles fans are frequently referred to as the rowdiest fans in the NFL.

Make no mistake about it, the fanbase is as passionate as they come. Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor shared an experience that goes against the stereotype that Philadelphia fans have been hit with.

Agholor has gone through some tough times over his first two years with the Eagles. He found himself in a mental struggle recently which resulted in Doug Pederson deactivating him.

He was very upbeat when he spoke at his locker on Wednesday. Agholor pointed to a positive experience when he was asked if he blocked out the fans on social media and other platforms.

“To be honest with you, I actually received some notes from some fans,” Agholor said with a smile on Wednesday. “They were very supportive. Whoever wrote me those notes, I don’t know them personally but I really appreciate it. People care. I have a lot of respect for people who care.”
