Agholor responds to critical Eagles fan, invites him to next home game
Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor took the high road on Monday after being called out by a Philadelphia resident for his recent drops.
Hakim Laws, a former firefighter, poked fun at Agholor while describing his efforts to rescue children from a fire in an apartment building in West Philadelphia, according to CBS Philadelphia.
“My man just starts throwing babies out the window. We was catching them, unlike Agholor.” Only in Philly will you find an @Eagles fan who says he helped rescue children from a fire taking jabs at Birds' wideout @NelsonAgholor: https://t.co/0GJ9dWEeuG@NBCSPhilly pic.twitter.com/MlbPAknUy1

"My man just started throwing babies out the window. We was catching them, unlike Agholor," said Laws.
After the clip went viral, Agholor asked for Twitter's help to find the man so he could invite him to the Eagles' next home game:
Thank you for being a hero in the community, would like to invite you and your family to the next home game

Agholor scored two touchdowns in a loss to the Detroit Lions, but his performance was overshadowed by costly errors for the second straight game.
The receiver dropped several passes and had a key fumble Sunday, a week after letting a potential game-winning touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons slip through his fingers.
