PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles rookie receiver DeVonta Smith said the tragic events involving his good friend, and former roommate, Henry Ruggs III gave him a "bigger purpose" for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, in which he led his team with five catches for 116 yards and a touchdown.
"First off, my heart breaks for everybody that was involved, the family of the young lady that lost her life," Smith said. "It was rough at the beginning [of the week], but just coming in every day, being with the guys, they kind of gathered with me, helped me out a lot.
