PHILADELPHIA — Last season, DeVonta Smith never had a moment when he realized he was one of the best receivers in the league.
Not even after his iconic, one-handed, fourth-down catch in the NFC championship game that sparked the Eagles’ return to the Super Bowl. That’s because the 24-year-old has always — “humbly,” he said — seen himself as a top-10 receiver.
“As you go on, you just continue to raise your level of play,” Smith said Wednesday during a media availability session at the NovaCare Complex. “I think that comes [with] more understanding of the game and things like that. Just being confident in myself, in my abilities. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have many guys that come up here and say they don’t think they’re not.”
