Drinking an expensive smoothie, chopping it up with Aaron Rodgers, and training for his sophomore NFL season are some of the things Smith spent his time doing this offseason in the Los Angeles area.
Eagles’ Nolan Smith is ‘bigger, faster, stronger’ after powering up with Southern California offseason training
Smith trained at Proactive Sports Performance in Westlake Village, where he spent time around Aaron Rodgers, enjoyed some “isolation,” and once spent $34 on a smoothie. Returning to a more familiar environment, Smith embarks on an important second season with the Eagles, expected to take on a bigger role in the team’s pass-rushing rotation. The 2023 first-round pick played just 16% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps last year and logged one sack, struggling to earn significant playing time while also dealing with a shoulder injury suffered during preseason.
“We’re putting them thangs on tomorrow and I’m excited, I can’t wait,” Smith said. “That will really help my game, you know, speed to power. I’m working speed right now, but the power element is part of that.”Smith’s speed off the edge is what made him a highly touted prospect, but his ability to combine it with power is still a work in progress.
