Couldn't do a training camp tour without stopping to see the defending NFC Champs in Philadelphia and we sat with Eagles playmaker, Louisiana native and former Alabama star, Wide Receiver DaVonta Smith.
With expectations flying high in Philadelphia, DeVonta opens up that last year's success doesn't mean anything and remembers the feeling of losing in the Super Bowl but not holding onto it come week 1. September starts a new year for one of the NFL's top tier teams and the young offense is balanced by some strong veterans on defense. Motivated by the leadership and talent of quarterback Jalen Hurts, DeVonta believes having another year playing together under their belt will only make the offensive duo that much stronger this season.
Often criticized for his size being smaller than the typical wide receiver, DeVonta has never allowed that to hold him back and continues to let his play on the field do the talking for him and quiet his naysayers. Confidence is never lacking and rising to the highest when fueled by competition DeVonta is ready to take on the NFL's best this season and finds it a waste of energy to talk trash so it comes down to maximizing his abilities and outplaying his opponents.
DeVonta also talks about the close bond developed while at Alabama between the wide receiver room and that no matter the different paths the guys have taken in life and in their careers, their brotherhood has remained solid. With the recent happenings of former college teammate and friend Henry Ruggs, DeVontaa talks about why it was important to be there for him as a friend during his difficult time and even missed a day of camp to attend his sentencing hearing in Nevada.
DaVonta is excited for the season to be underway with high hopes for his Eagles team to make a Super Bowl run again and also looking forward to another big moment in his life, becoming a dad soon.

One thing I got from this interview is that DeVonta Smith don't speak any more than what needs to be said. He don't speak "empty calorie" words. You know, talking just to talk. Straight to the point and about his business! 🦅🦅🦅

I’ve been crushed for the situation of Henry Ruggs that happened. I watched him a lot during his career at Alabama all through his short career in NFL but I still pray everyday for that young man that he gets through that situation and he somehow makes a comeback someday to the NFL Ik the situations are completely different but the Mike Vick situation and then to see him come back and revive his career with the Eagles I do hope that HR3 gets a second chance in the NFL one day but only time will tell and it’s in Gods hands
