DS doing so well at the Eagles, I just had to watch this to see what his college play looked like. Supreme aerial skills and hand/eye co-ordination, fast and smooth as silk, tough as nails. He is a pleasure to watch.

[@Treyfc]

I know this is an older comment, but you missed out forsure not seeing this season unfold live! Keep in mind, 117 receptions, 1800+ yards, and 23 tds in 13 games! Legendary stretch

[@gdo3510]

His physical stature, route running, and hands reminds me of Marvin Harrison. Just a nightmare to cover for a CB.

[@jimbrown341]

I don't think that's a good comparison. Devonta Smith 175lbs soaking wet. He's also way faster than Marvin Harrison was. To me, his NFL comparison is DeSean Jackson. Super skinny, blazing top speed, etc. Having said that... I really don't like his build. He looks like the sort of guy who will be on the injury list a lot. Taking hits from grown men, I don't know how his body will hold up. Not many people throughout NFL's history with a build that slender that have succeeded at a high level without sustaining a bunch of injuries. Availability is one of the most important attributes to a player.... Saquon Barkley constantly on IR is no good.

[@gdo3510]

@@jimbrown341 the way he moves is very similar to DeSean Jackson. Good call. Not sure if he’s got the top end speed of Jackson and he’s also not way faster than Marvin Harrison. He might be faster at a top speed but Harrison was no slouch and extremely quick, but I guess we will see how he does at the combine. He certainly doesn’t have too many problems beating deep. I’m not as concerned as you about his build, and if you’re smart you can avoid big hits.

[@kylekissack4633]

That's a decent comparison..marvin had better speed..if smith can perfect his footwork and route running he could have similar success

I agree, Joe. He knows how to get open, and he's got great hands, BUT most of the time, he gets taken down almost immediately. Lamar Jackson could teach him a thing or two about avoiding tackles.
