DeVonta Smith finished off a monster first half with an absurd catch that had NFL fans in awe

Ohhhhh, so that’s why he’s called the “Slim Reaper”!

The Eagles have gotten off to a blazing start to the 2022 season. In almost every respect, they look like a true heavyweight, too. Philadelphia has one of the NFL’s most talented rosters on paper, and Jalen Hurts looks like a legitimate franchise quarterback.

The second-year wideout had six receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Saying he was “cooking” the Commanders’ secondary might be an understatement. And look at how he so easily torched two defenders in double coverage:
