Alabama star DeVonta Smith decided to participate in the school's second pro day Tuesday at the request of Mac Jones.
"Mac just told me, 'Bro, come catch. Come catch,'" Smith told the SEC Network after the pro day (h/t Mike Rodak of AL.com). "And I just eventually just gave in. I'm like, 'All right, I'm gonna go for you, bro.'"
Smith also cited a finger injury he suffered in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game against Ohio State as one of the reasons he chose to do on-field drills.
"Really just sitting down, having a talk with my mentor, seeing what was best for it," said Smith.
