If A.J. Brown is indeed traded this summer, DeVonta Smith will step into the spotlight as the Eagles' undisputed WR1. The question is: can the Slim Reaper handle the load?

The Case for Smith

Let's not forget who DeVonta Smith is. He's the only wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Desmond Howard in 1991. He's been a consistent producer throughout his NFL career, even as the number two option behind Brown.

Smith's route running is elite. His hands are reliable. And despite his lean frame, he's proven to be durable and tough enough to handle physical corners.

Who Steps Up Alongside Him?

The Eagles have options:

• Makai Lemon - First-round pick primed for slot duties
• Hollywood Brown - Deep threat when healthy
• Elijah Moore - Versatile veteran
• Dontayvion Wicks - Physical receiver
• Johnny Wilson - 6'6" red zone target

The Opportunity

If you're DeVonta Smith, this is what you've been waiting for. A chance to prove you can be the alpha. A chance to put up WR1 numbers. A chance to cement your legacy in Philadelphia.

The Slim Reaper is ready.
