Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith just concluded a successful rookie season with Philadelphia that saw him haul in 64 passes for 916 yards and five touchdowns.

Here are some of the best responses. 

Who knows, maybe if he’s in the City of Brotherly Love for long enough, Smith will change his mind someday about its staple food.
