Eagles' DeVonta Smith's Room 'In Complete Darkness' Before Super Bowl, No TV or Phone

Ahead of his first career Super Bowl appearance, Eagles wide receiver Devonta Smith is getting off the grid as much as he can.

The second-year pass-catcher is trying to distance himself from the distractions surrounding the event by staying away from social media, his phone or TV.

"I'm in complete darkness," Smith said, via Bo Wulf of The Athletic. "Complete darkness."

While he prefers to remain in darkness ahead of the biggest game of his young career, Smith often snatched the spotlight while on the field this season.

Smith paced a talented Philadelphia receiving corps with 95 catches, setting a single-season franchise record.
