Eagles' star WR DeVonta Smith debuts YouTube series detailing his 2025 offseason
Iron sharpens Iron in the NFL, and no university pumps out more diamonds than the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Pressure burst pipes, and with the Eagles looking to defend their title against a gauntlet of 17 games, DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown have been putting in extra work. Brown recently trained at the most 'dangerous gym in America,' while Smith just debuted a new YouTube series giving fans insight into his off-season training habits.

Smith is giving fans insight into his career at the perfect time. After winning the Super Bowl, he joined a short list of elite players.
By catching a 46-yard touchdown from quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Eagles' wide receiver became the first player drafted from Alabama to score a touchdown in a Super Bowl game. Smith also became the fifth player and the first wide receiver in history to win the Heisman Trophy, a college football national title, and a Super Bowl championship. Alabama produced four Heisman Trophy-winners during Nick Saban's head coaching career, but Smith is the first Crimson Tide alum to complete this historic trifecta.
Smith is also the Alabama record-holder in three critical categories. He finished his collegiate career with 235 total receptions, 3,965 receiving yards, and 46 touchdowns.
