Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is in his first offseason as a Super Bowl champion.
Smith had four receptions for 69 yards, including a 46-yard touchdown reception, in the Eagles’ 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 to win the NFL championship for the 2024 season.
On Sunday, Smith provided a glimpse into how he’s preparing for another run at the Super Bowl -- and it starts at 4:48 a.m. –by releasing the video “The Offseason: Episode 1” on his YouTube channel.
There’s not a football to be seen in the video, which features Smith working in a dimly lit gym and on a sun-splashed track, accompanied by sound clips and live sound.
Smith is preparing for his fifth NFL season. In his first four, he had 308 receptions for 4,011 yards and 27 touchdowns. He’s the 13th player in NFL history to reach those totals in those three stats in his first four seasons.
Smith also has 43 receptions for 595 yards and two touchdowns in nine playoff games. He’s the only player in NFL postseason history to reach those totals in those three stats in his first four seasons.
