As expected, DeVonta Smith was going to be the topic of discussion throughout the offseason — and Eagles fans are loving the narrative depicting a huge debut for the first-round draft pick.
In a recent article written by Dan Hanzus from NFL Network predicting the team MVP for all 32 teams, the Heisman Trophy winner was predicted to be Philadelphia’s most valuable player for the 2021 season.
The former Alabama Crimson Tide star will look to lead a young Eagles receiving corps, which head coach Nick Sirianni has focused on turning into “playmakers.”
Encouraging videos of Jalen Hurts working with Smith on the field have brought much-needed excitement for Eagles fans, with many embracing the reconnection from their time in Tuscaloosa.
When asked a question recently about their chemistry, Smith had this to say back in May after the draft concluded. “You have to continue that,” he said. “So we have to continue building from that. I mean, just because we had that connection in college doesn’t mean that it’s the same now. We’ve both grown as players. We both have things that we’ve added to our game. So we have to build from that and get better.”
Many around the league believe the two players can totally complement each other’s game while bringing a new dimension to the new-look Philadelphia Eagles.
