DeVonta Smith, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, joined a prestigious group of players after his team’s victory in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday night. Smith is now one of only five players to have won a National Championship, a Heisman Trophy, and a Super Bowl ring. The other players on this esteemed list are Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen, Charles Woodson, and Reggie Bush.
Reggie Bush was the most recent player before Smith to achieve this trifecta, winning the National Championship at USC in 2004 and the Heisman Trophy the following season. Smith, a member of two National Championship teams at Alabama, won the Heisman Trophy during his senior season after a standout performance.
During the Super Bowl, Smith played a critical role in the Eagles’ victory, leading the team in both receptions and receiving yards. He also scored a crucial touchdown late in the third quarter, helping secure the win for his team. Smith concluded his fourth season with the Eagles, amassing over 4,000 receiving yards in his young career and now entering the offseason as a Super Bowl champion for the first time.
