Eagles' star WR makes stunning Nick Sirianni admission upon return to practice

The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense is humming again. Thursday at the NovaCare Complex smelled like fresh-cut grass and low-country boil optimism.

DeVonta Smith is on the field. And his groin injury is seemingly in the rearview. His return brings a palpable sense of relief after weeks of absence. But it was his words off the field that truly dropped jaws.

During an appearance on the 94WIP Morning Show, Smith faced a question that would make most players hesitate. He was asked to compare the intensity of his legendary college coach, Nick Saban, with his current NFL boss, Nick Sirianni.
