Eagles rookie projections: Which draft picks will make an impact in 2021?
The NFL draft is behind us and all eyes now turn to Training Camp and beyond. What will 2021 have in store for this year’s Eagles rookies? Here are some all-too-early predictions.
DeVonta Smith
There’s no doubting that the Heisman-winning receiver is going to factor into Nick Sirianni’s immediate plans and a more suitable projection would be the numbers he will put up as a rookie. Vegas has Smith’s season totals at 749.5 yards and 5.5 touchdowns, which is a pretty fair ballpark to work in.
If we look at rookie receivers from last year and exclude Justin Jefferson for being an absolute alien and Jalen Reagor for um..not being that, Henry Ruggs put up 452 yards while Jerry Jeudy had 856.
