DeVonta Smith on how he handles questions about his size from NFL evaluators
One would think catching 117 passes for 1,856 yards and 23 touchdowns in a shortened season while going up against nothing but SEC or College Football Playoff opponents would quiet all of DeVonta Smith’s doubters.
If you thought that, you’d be wrong.
There are still those that are willing to doubt Smith’s ability to translate his game to the next level due to the fact the Alabama receiver is rather slender when compared to other receivers in the NFL.
How does Smith respond to those concerns?
He laughs them off:

The Slim Reaper!
Talent being equal, if I had to choose I’d rather have heart and drive than size and strength.
Yes. DeVonta is as good as he can be because of that. It’s a rare achievement he can always be proud of.
I think he’ll do OK! The only thing to hold him back would be a crappy QB that can’t get the ball near him or typical nfl thuggery! Keep clean and stay out of trouble – don’t beat women – DO beat DB’s!! Stay away from nitwit idiots who only want YOUR MONEY!! I’ll read about his success but won’t give the nfl another viewer!
Devonta’s going to be fine in the NFL…a few more pounds and now Q’s about his size will be asked. Roll Tide !
