NEW YORK – DeVonta Smith knows his third year in the NFL will pose some new challenges. For one, the Philadelphia Eagles have a target on their backs after winning the NFC last season, though they were not able to win it all. 

However, while Smith's mindset remains focused on football this season, he will also need to turn his attention to something off the field: fatherhood. 

"I wish we can just fast-forward to it," Smith told Fox News Digital, smiling from ear to ear as he thought about the baby girl his girlfriend, Mya, and him are expecting. "I’m excited for it. Just really looking forward to being a dad."
