For the first time in his NFL career, Wendell Smallwood is playing for a different team. The former fifth-round pick got drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2016. Despite coming from West Virginia, Smallwood was actually joining his childhood team with the Eagles.
As a Delaware native, Smallwood has always been around Philly, so he’s been quite familiar with the Eagles even before they selected him. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to finish out his fourth and final year on his rookie deal with the Eagles.
This past weekend, Philly made some tough cuts after the preseason concluded.
