DeVonta Smith is stepping into the role of the Philadelphia Eagles' top receiver following the trade of AJ Brown to the New England Patriots. Smith, who has been a key player for the Eagles, expressed his commitment to maintaining his performance, stating, 'I’m just going out there and do my job.' Over the past four seasons, Smith recorded 321 receptions for 4,103 yards and 26 touchdowns, complementing Brown's impressive stats. Smith acknowledged the strong bond he shared with Brown but accepted the trade as part of the business of football. To prepare for Brown's exit, the Eagles have enhanced their wide receiver group through the draft and free agency, including the addition of Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown. Smith emphasized the competitive spirit within the team, which he believes fosters improvement among players. As he enters his sixth NFL season, Smith is also adjusting to a new offensive scheme under coordinator Sean Mannion, focusing on mastering the new playbook before the team's summer break.
