There is a common theme from many of the Philadelphia Eagles' biggest stars this offseason.
No one seems to care that they just won the Super Bowl.
Whether it was A.J. Brown's comments right before the parade, or Jalen Hurts ignoring comments made from the previous season, the Eagles are a team that seems hellbent on doing everything they can to reach the big game for a second straight year.
And now some of their younger defensive players are getting in on that thought process.
Nolan Smith, one of Philadelphia's first-round picks from the 2022 draft, is coming off a career year with the team where he recorded 6.5 sacks in the regular season and four in the playoffs.
While a 24-year-old player could be excused for being focused on the numbers or joys of winning a Super Bowl, Smith couldn't be more different.
The Georgia edge rusher spoke at voluntary workouts this week with a clear mindset. The same one that the rest of the team has had for months.
"Everyone is excited for the rings and all of that; I've been turning the page, especially after the parade,” said Smith. “I got back to doing what I was doing because I know I had to rehab and gotta be stronger. I said last year, 'I gotta be bulletproof,' and that's what I'm going through every year. Build my armor going into this year.”
It is clear that the entire Eagles roster is aligned on their post-victory mindset coming off one of the biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history.
Time will tell if it means another chance at a championship, but it is clear the organization is ready to try and repeat.
