While everybody talks about the Miami Dolphins and for very good reason, the Philadelphia Eagles also have one of the best wide receiver tandems in the game.
AJ Brown is clearly one of the most dominant physical forces in the league right now, but people seem to sleep on DeVonta Smith.
Smith has shut down all the doubts about his size — or lack thereof –, making the most of his speed, acceleration, and steady hands to be a steady and consistent contributor.
Moreover, he’s got some of the best footwork in the game, as he showed again in a clip shared by Eagles beat writer Eliot Shorr-Parks on social media.

The Alabama product can tip-toe his way out of any situation, and he’s a master at creating separation.
The Eagles will have plenty at stake next season.
Kellen Moore will look to redeem himself as offensive coordinator after a disappointing tenure with the Los Angeles Chargers, and Nick Sirianni might be on the hot seat.
On top of that, Jalen Hurts will have to prove that the year he had two seasons ago wasn’t a fluke and that he’s the kind of guy who can lead this team to the Vince Lombardi trophy.
So, even though he doesn’t steal many headlines or gets as much credit as he should, Smith will most definitely play a big part in what they can do on offense next season.
