DeVonta Smith keeps getting DeVonta Smith’s mail; can’t get his nickname

It’s led to an interesting online relationship between the two, as the Eagles’ Smitty told reporters this week, “I’ve spoken to him through social media and things like that.”

Last year, a box arrived for Tae, filled with PSD (Palm Springs Design) items, an undergarment company that leans on professional athletes for promotion.

“I don’t know how they got the address or anything like that, but I got sent PSD underwear,” shared Smith. “Like a boatload of PSD underwear and the spokesperson for PSD underwear, I’m guessing he was a huge fan of the Eagles, so he had sent a note and was like, ‘Please sign this, follow me on Instagram. This is my number.’

“He wrote his number on there, and I just texted him like, ‘Hey, this came to me. I’m DeVonta Smith, but this is not the one that it was intended to go to.’ So, he wrote back and said, ‘My bad, my dog. Roll Tide,’ because he still knew that I went to Alabama as well. He just said, ‘Just keep it.’ So it was crazy.”

But just like he did after that first conversation with Bryce Young at Alabama, and like he’s done every day since, the confusion only serves as motivation.
