    ESPN Predicts Shake-Up For Eagles Receiving Leaderboard

    The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the top receiving duos in the NFL today.

    A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have both dominated over the last two seasons in their own regard and have even set the franchise record for yards receiving from a pair of wideouts in two years.

    Before Brown arrived, the Eagles had never had two 1,000-yard receivers. Now, the two have combined for over 1,000 in back-to-back seasons.

    Despite Brown being the more popular and dominant player, the Eagles extended both wideouts this offseason. Dan Graziano of ESPN, though, stated that it wouldn't surprise him if a shake-up of the top receiving guard changed in Smith's favor for 2024.

    "Smith has elevated something about his game each season in the eyes of the Eagles, who drafted him 10th overall in 2021, and he could be poised for a massive breakout -- possibly even surpassing Brown as the team's No. 1 wideout," Graziano wrote.

    With Kellen Moore as the new offensive play-caller going into the new season, Smith's skill set is considered a lock to be used along with the likes of CeeDee Lamb and Keenan Allen over the years.

    It won't take away from Brown's overall numbers, but Philadelphia could be in line for a monster year from the former Heisman Trophy winner.
