DeVonta Smith finally made his preseason debut, and after some early struggles with quarterback Joe Flacco, the Heisman Trophy winner proved he’s the Eagles’ No. 1 wide receiver.
The reservations about Smith’s size were immediately put to rest because a cornerback can’t bully the wide receiver if he can’t get his hands on them. Smith’s superior route-running and surgical precision were described as an “artist painting his masterpiece” by NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks.
Smith logged two catches for 19-yards on five targets, but it was the route-running that left fans and experts buzzing.
