Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Isaiah Rodgers showed off his batting skills during DeVonta Smith's celebrity softball charity event that was held on June 29 at Coca-Cola Park, home of the Phillies Triple-A affiliated, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs
Rodgers whacked 12 balls over the fence to win the Home Run Derby to kick off the game.
This is Smith's third straight year holding the event where some of his current and past teammates, along with other NFL players, come together for a softball game following the home run derby.
Rodgers, who joined the Eagles last offseason, didn't hesitate to say yes when Smith asked him to take part in it.
“I wanted to do it before he approached me but when he did, I was like, ‘Hell yeah, why not, my little welcome to Philly moment,’” Rodgers said, via Sports Illustrated.
Over 8,000 people came out to watch the game that ended with Team Smith beating Team [Terrell] Owens 16-6 win.
Rodgers was so impressed afterward, he took to Twitter/X to reciprocate the love.
"Man LISTEN . I LOVE YALL PHILLY FANS . The love and support yall showed me today was amazing."
Other players who attended this year's event included Jalen Hurts, Chad Johnson, Darius Slay, Nakobe Dean, Mack Wilson, Brandon Graham, Saquon Barkley, Terrell Edmunds, Dallas Goedert, Jahan Dotson, Brandon Marshall, Justin Hardeen, D'Andre Swift an Jaylen Waddle.
Proceeds raised during Smith's celebrity softball game went toward both St. Luke's and charities, which benefits youth recreational and educational programming in the Lehigh Valley.
