Devonta personality is really showing?

@GolfZaddyy Жыл бұрын

@@6971robi compared to him as a rookie, he was very reserved and quiet. Obviously this is a convo with his teammate.. but even with Philly media, you can tell he's more comfortable and open to share

@@GolfZaddyyespecially since AJ has come, he has that other WR that is at that elite player level just like him, and slay personality seem like it’s easy to pair with, but AJ coming definitely helped cuz he’s always around him doing the games and and in locker room and hell he’s probably learned some stuff from AjJ

"BIG PLAY" Slay, your videos are great. I enjoy your personality and it shows why you are so great on the field. I am looking forward to seeing how you Bradberry tear up the teams this year with the new pass rush. The EAGLES have a great bunch of players and these interviews humanize each of them instead of just showing what we see in the game only. The Reaper is going off this year so he can get paid.
