If there’s one major talking point about the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 rookie class, it isn’t the instant impact player Quinyon Mitchell appears to be, the emergence of Johnny Wilson as a legit challenger for WR3, or even how Will Shipley could become the next Darren Sproles, but instead the struggles of Ainias Smith, who has […]
