| 0:00.0 | What's happening, everyone? |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome into another episode of the Checo Daily. |
| 0:13.9 | Andrew DeCecho, Eagles Beat Reporter Inside the Birds.com. |
| 0:17.5 | We're going to continue on with the positional preview series where I go through each player and each |
| 0:23.8 | position room and I outline their 2026 overview and kind of go from there. |
| 0:31.5 | We've done quarterbacks and running backs already. |
| 0:34.4 | Today will be wide receiver and we'll just get this right out of the way. |

| 1:22.6 | and make up some of those yards after the catch. |
| 1:26.3 | And this is someone who is a really, really proficient route runner, knows how to |

| 1:43.0 | So Devante Smith, I believe, is poised and positioned for his best season. |
| 1:48.8 | Then moving on, we'll look at Don Tavian Wicks, |
