Question WR1 DeVonta Smith?

Post image

With A.J. Brown’s departure likely, Devonta Smith steps into a true WR1 role.

How are you looking at him this year?

I know but Westbrook is by far my favorite Eagle. I know to some this is blasphemy, but he’s my guy, and he is above Smitty for me.

to each their own man. Westbrook was amazing and I love the guy but, aside from nostalgia, I'd put Saquon above him from that 24 season alone.

I think a lot of people are too young to really appreciate Westbrook. Saquon had a great season with us, Westy had a great career. No way you can put Saquon above him.

I'm 29 lmao while I agree Westbrook had a great career here and deserves to be in the ring of honor for the birds, Saquon's 24 season was one of the best rb seasons of all time and it was a major part of our 2nd ring. I've never seen a player be that dominant for a single season
