DeVonta Smith is Going to Light It Up
It’s almost time.
The Eagles wrapped up their preseason, and now we can look forward to week one when we travel to New England to play the Patriots.
Everyone is expecting the offense to be as good, if not better, than they were last year.
I am one of those people, and I believe they will be better because I think DeVonta Smith will light it up this year.
DeVonta Smith is one of the best wide receivers in the entire league. His route running and body control are elite. He is coming into his third season, and Darius Slay said he doesn’t think it will be long before people are saying he is THE best receiver in the entire league. Reports from camp this summer suggest that Smith has been the best player on the field. He finished camp with 50 receptions, zero drops, and seven touchdowns.
When he came into the league, everyone said he was too small, and he would never hold up over the course of an NFL season. He has proved those people wrong, as he has started 38/38 possible games that he could start. He has proven that he can take the big hits and still get right back up, which is why he remains so productive.
Smith finished last year with 95 catches, 1196 yards, and seven touchdowns. His 95 catches ranked ninth in the league, and his 1196 yards ranked eighth in the league. He had a total of 485 yards after the catch, and that ranked seventh in the league. Smith was able to put up top 10 numbers with two other elite receiving options on the team in AJ Brown and Dallas Goedert, which goes to prove how good he really is.
I believe DeVonta Smith will take another big leap this year, which will help the offense to be even better than they were a year ago.
