Marcus Smith was a major disappointment as the Eagles’ first-round draft pick last season. A linebacker who was drafted with the expectation that he’d make an instant impact on Philadelphia’s defense, Smith instead barely played and didn’t record a single tackle.
But Smith is working hard this offseason to show he has something to contribute. Teammate Connor Barwin told Comcast Sportsnet in Philadelphia that Smith has become a completely different physical specimen through his spring workouts.
“Physically, he looks different. He gained 15 pounds, he put on a lot of muscle,” Barwin said.
