Superbowl bound DeVonta Smith attributes mindset to ‘Bama’

DeVonta Smith is one of several former University of Alabama players that are now members of the Super Bowl bound Philadelphia Eagles.

Jalen Hurts, quarterback for the Eagles and fellow Bama Alum, has many receivers to choose from on his offense. DeVonta Smith has always been a preferred option throughout this season for the quarterback.

After the Eagles’ NFC Championship victory, DeVonta Smith was interviewed and asked a number of questions. One came up that didn’t appear to take much reflection.

“Where does this mentality come from? You and Jalen? At such a young age.”

“Every time I talk to you after these huge wins, you’re like, “…the job is not done.”

After a trademark smile, the Heisman trophy winner simply replied, “Bama.”
