Devonta Smith

Coming in at 6’1” and 170 pounds, Devonta Smith is considered small for his position. He is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, and many fans were surprised when it was announced that the team chose an “undersized” player. The doubts and questions surrounding Smith’s draft are the perfect blueprint for an underdog story.

Smith may be considered “small” for football, but he is mighty. He is gaining a reputation on and off the field for his strong work ethic, discipline, and dedication. All of his hard work is paying off and proving the haters wrong. He signed a four-year contract with the Eagles worth $20 million, which is a pretty sweet first job right out of college.
