Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been ranked the 17th-best wide receiver in the NFL by Bleacher Report's scouting department. Smith, now the Eagles' top receiver following A.J. Brown's trade to the New England Patriots, finished the 2025 season with 77 receptions, 1,008 yards, and four touchdowns.
