A.J. Brown on DeVonta Smith reaching another level: ‘Nobody has been able to cover him’

The Eagles have two of the NFL’s top wide receivers, and the former Heisman Trophy winner could take his game to another level in 2024. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both signed lucrative contract extensions this off-season, ensuring Philadelphia has the top pass-catching duo in the NFL for years to come.

Brown has been dominant during his first two seasons in Philadelphia, while Smith looks primed for a breakout year and his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Smith has recorded 240 catches for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns over three seasons with Philadelphia.

Smith shattered the Eagles rookie record for receiving yards (916) in 2021, surpassing a mark previously held by DeSean Jackson, and established a team record for single-season receptions by a wide receiver (95) in 2022.

Smith logged 1,000 yards receiving for a second consecutive year in 2023.
