Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, the Alabama standout receiver and one of the best players available in the upcoming 2021 NFL draft, knows his size and slender frame might cause apprehension for some decision-makers in the NFL.
“I like people doubting me. It makes me keep going, and it just puts a bigger chip on my shoulder,” Smith said during an interview Wednesday on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
Smith was listed at 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds during his senior season at Alabama, where he caught 117 receptions for 1,856 yards and 23 receiving touchdowns, leading the Crimson Tide to a national championship last month.
