When the dust settled on an immaculate collegiate career, little did DeVonta Smith know he would be judged more for his physical appearance than production.

He paced the Crimson Tide to a national championship; nevertheless, it led to more questions about his frame and kept him from being a top-five draft pick. Despite the obstacles, the Louisiana native landed in a good spot.
