The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are full of confidence after reaching the Super Bowl last season, and Darius Slay and Patrick Mahomes are backing their receivers to have big years
The Philadelphia Eagles could not quite get the job done in the Super Bowl last season, but that has not dented their confidence as they begin another pursuit of the Lombardi Trophy.
The reigning NFC champions are stacked across the board on both sides of the ball, with an abundance of youthful and veteran talent for head coach Nick Siriani to work with. Among the hugely promising young stars is wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who is heading into his third year in the league.
The University of Alabama alum has accumulated more than 2,000 yards across his first two campaigns in the pro game, dovetailing brilliantly with AJ Brown to give the Eagles one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.
Former Tennessee Titans star Brown was the team’s leading receiver last year with 1,496 yards, but former All-Pro cornerback Slay â a leader of the Eagles’ defence â believes Smith will not only take on the mantle but also become the best wideout in the NFL.
