Looking at how Nick Sirianni can make DeVonta Smith the ideal 'X' receiver in the Eagles' offense

July 21, 2021 by Eagles Wire Leave a Comment

The Eagles traded up to select Alabama’s DeVonta Smith at No. 10 overall and after a Heisman season that saw him shatter SEC records, Nick Sirianni will look to get the most out of the newest weapon immediately.

Touchdown Wire’s Laurie Fitzpatrick took a look at Smith’s strengths and how he can make him the “ideal” X wide receiver in Shane Steichen’s system.

An elite route runner, look for Smith to make plays at all three levels, while getting the ball in the screen game, as a rusher, and on deep play-action looks.
