The "Poison" that is Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown

The duo has been a tough matchup all season and is one advantage the Eagles have over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, but the best part? They aren't going anywhere this offseason

PHILADELPHIA – For the first time in who knows how long, draft season won’t be dominated by which receiver the Eagles should take in the first or second round.

They area good to go at that position.

Drafting DeVonta Smith, after trading up with the Cowboys to the tenth selection, in 2021 was the first step.

Trading for A.J. Brown on the first night of the draft in 2022 was the second step.

Quez Watkins, a sixth-round pick in 2020, has been fine, and Zach Pascal will be a free agent, but really what comes after Smith and Brown doesn’t matter much because there just isn’t much traffic for them in the offense.

Stil, Smith and Brown are good enough to have given the Eagles an advantage at that position in every game they’ve played this season and that is the case when the Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs square off in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. The Eagles left for Arizona on Sunday as Super Bowl week begins.

The receiver position is like just about any other on the Eagles – deep.

“I feel like the Giants had a talented group when I was there, but I feel like this tops it,” said DT Linval Joseph. “I feel like in every position room, you just have depth and it’s kind of hard to, like, have depth continuously. We have to take advantage while we can.”

The names and faces change after every season, but Smith and Brown aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, with Brown having signed a four-year contract extension when he was traded to Philly and Smith signed through 2024, though an extension could be forthcoming following next season.

When Brown was acquired one of the first things head coach Nick Sirianni said was how much it would help Smith, because now, defenses wouldn’t be able to lock him down without fretting over who lined up on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

He was right, as the duo went over 1,000 yards receiving - the first time two Eagles receivers topped that milestone in a single season. They combined for 2,692 yards 18 touchdowns.

“Pick your poison,” said Smith on Saturday.

Brown said he has seen Smith take big strides in the former Alabama Heisman Trophy winner’s second season.

“What I appreciate the most is he’s selfless,” said Brown. “Our whole room is selfless. As a receiver, every guy in the room wants the ball, but it takes a different type of human to put yourself aside and do it for the team. But most importantly, he has taken a big stride through this year, I would say, and it’s the little things, too.

“You guy may not see it, but I see it up close and personal, and just the mental part of it I think was the biggest thing that he knows he can get open against anybody.

“When you think that way, it’s in your DNA, nothing can stop you. I joke all the time and say I’m always open, but I think at this position if you’re thinking that way, you’re moving that way, you’re going to start to believe it. That’s the way we approach each and every day, to get better, to be open, to get open.”

There will be plenty of change in the offseason with this Super Bowl roster, but Smith and Brown won’t be part of it, and the dividends of having two No. 1 receivers will continue paying off no matter who wins Super Bowl LVII.
