Regardless of those who look at Ja’Marr Chase (LSU) and Jaylen Waddle (Alabama) as being better than him, Pro Football Focus projects DeVonta Smith of Alabama football as the clear-cut best wide receiver in college football.
He may not be as fast as Waddle or as flashy as Chase, but Smith is the most consistent with his production.
If he was only satisfied with being one-half of the historic “2nd and 26” that would be okay; however, Smith desires to be the greatest receiver to come through the program. He has built off his championship moment in becoming the most sure-handed weapon on the team in the last three years.
