DeVonta Smith on those who doubt his potential NFL success: “I love the doubters. It keeps me going.”

After his teammate at Alabama was featured on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, DeVonta Smith made an appearance on Thursday’s show.

He could have declared for the 2020 NFL Draft, but the Louisiana native decided to return to school for his senior year.

In listening to his head coach, Nick Saban, the choice turned out to be the best investment for Smith. He led all receivers in college football for receptions (117), receiving yards (1,856), and touchdown catches (23) through 13 games.

Smith was responsible for nine 100-yard performances, including three 200-yard games.

He put on a show versus Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, tallying 12 catches for 215 yards receiving and three touchdowns in the first half.
