He was not only a major asset to Tua Tagovailoa, but DeVonta Smith also helped Mac Jones settle in — upon him replacing Tagovailoa late in the 2019 season. People crack on his size, but Smith returns as one of college football’s best playmakers on the outside in the coming fall.
As good as Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III were at Alabama, Smith has an opportunity to surpass former Crimson Tide standout Amari Cooper for most career touchdown catches.
After posting a team-high 14 scores last year, he is nine touchdowns shy (23) of 31 – which stands as the record.
