DeVonta Smith grew up near New Orleans. Now, he could win the Super Bowl in his home state.
Long before DeVonta Smith was a star wide receiver in the NFL, he was a five-star recruit as a high school football player in Louisiana. Smith grew up in Amite City, about 73 miles from New Orleans, where the Eagles wideout and the rest of the Birds will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome.
5 Eagles thoughts: DeVonta Smith's Super Bowl role, Nolan Smith's playoff run and more
Battling through some injuries and given the Eagles' shift to a run-focused attack, DeVonta Smith posted career lows in catches, yards and yards per reception this season. He's done what he's needed to in the postseason so far, hauling in 12 passes for 121 in the Birds' three playoff wins, but he's capable of much more than that.
