Many of Smith’s Eagles teammates and fellow NFL players are expected to participate; details will be released later.

Since being drafted 10th overall by the Eagles in 2021, Smith has quickly ascended to one of the NFL’s top receivers.
Smith helped lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance in 2022. The following season, he posted a second consecutive 1,000-yard receiving campaign in 2023.
Smith won the Heisman Trophy as college football’s top player and also many other awards while at the University of Alabama.
He became the first receiver to win the Heisman since Michigan’s Desmond Howard in 1991.
Smith has been a strong advocate for the Lehigh Valley since being drafted by Philadelphia, seeing the intimate connection between the Greater Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia.
Lehigh University was home to Eagles training camp for two decades and Smith is acutely aware of how many Eagles fans reside in the Lehigh Valley and how much the Eagles mean to those fans.
