Nolan Smith is willing to share a little Eagles smoke with everyone, family included.
It feels okay to state this now, based on how things turned out. Nolan Smith was destined to be a Philadelphia Eagles defender. We could revisit the commonly used theories about the Georgia Bulldogs pipeline. We could reference the green socks he wore on draft day.
This feels like Brandon Graham happening all over again. Smith has publicly noted Graham for taking him under his wing. Both are Eagles through and through. The similarities are seemingly endless.
Both were first-round selections. Both were criticized for slow starts, though the criticism was a little unfair in Smith’s case.
Nolan Smith keeps it in the Family with a playful jab aimed at his father for a flawed association
It’s hard not to like Nolan. His smile is infectious. He’s articulate. He plays football like his life depends on it, and he has bought into what it means to be a Philadelphia Eagle. Perhaps that’s another of the lessons he learned from our beloved Graham, who never misses any opportunity to throw a jab at one of Philly’s rivals.
Smith has plunged headfirst into the same mindset with a Philadelphia-against-everyone approach. See? You’d be hard pressed to find a more loyal Bird than this one.
It’s too bad his father is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. Ouch… Talk about your ‘conflicts of interest’. No one has to be reminded that a feud exists between the two sides.
Great job, Nolan! And, don’t worry. Something tells us that Dad will see the light and the error of his ways.
If you’re looking for the full interview from this one, Nolan was recently a guest on Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship’s Exciting Mics podcast. That’s a must-watch. He deemed Georgia this great nation’s top state for high school football.
It’s an hour of great conversation between teammates. Everything is on the table from Nolan’s ‘welcome to the NFL moment’ to his practice wars vs. Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. Trust us on this one. You’re doing yourselves a favor by giving this one a watch.
