STACKED’s take
Smith elevated to No. 1 receiver role after A.J. Brown trade; built for this role.
For the first time since his rookie season, Smith is a No. 1 wide receiver after the Eagles traded A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots in June. Smith excelled in the No. 1 role in college and had a record-breaking rookie season with 916 yards (Eagles rookie record). He has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in three of his last four seasons and is the all-time franchise leader in postseason receiving yards with 665. Jordan Mailata stated Smith has always been a No. 1 receiver and nothing has changed for him skill-wise. James Madison coach Billy Napier, who recruited Smith at Alabama, said: 'The guy was built to do this' and predicted Eagles fans will have fun watching Smith in this role.
