DeVonta Smith was greeted by a familiar face in Philadelphia.
Jalen Hurts welcomed his former Alabama teammate and new Eagle teammate to the City of Brotherly Love.
As you can see in the clips posted to the Philadelphia Eagles official Twitter account, it was a warm welcome between the former members of the Crimson Tide who played together in 2017 and ’18.
Hurts hung around for Smith’s first photoshoot as an Eagle. The Heisman Trophy winner was predictably stylish.
