@Mr X We shall see.

Can't wait to see him in the NFL

[@thetide1070]

Gonna miss him but glad to see him transition to the next level . He will be making headlines for years because he doesn’t quit and is tough as a $2 steak. Roll Tide

[@carsonrhoads2842]

That’s the best simile I’ve ever heard lmao

[@roommatevs6545]

such a humble guy! any NFL team would be blessed to have him not only for his talent but his leadership

[@brentleclaire3655]

Good luck in your future,nothing but great things to say about this young warrior,Roll Tide Forever

[@flipboyunited]

Really want to see him in Miami...Tua and Smitty is gonna be Litty 🥴🥴

[@rollmfntide1991]

Boi boi boi..I can only pray

[@WackJallis]

And maybe even get Najee in the second ☺️

[@AB-fv4ms]

@Mr X Jalen Waddle isnt falling to 18 unless the giants are able to get Smith or Jmarr Chase and even then the Patriots would take him

[@TyhranG15]

You mean DW4 and smitty

[@thekevinandcoreyshow923]

Tua sucks man

[@thinktwice8860]

I put DeVonta right up there with my other favorite Alabama player ever, Ozzie Newsome. They handled themselves impeccably both on and off of the field. Also, both men were clutch for Bama. I can’t wait to see DeVonta as a pro!

[@jpepper418]

I always enjoyed hearing Coach Bryant say “Ozzie Newsome from Leighton Alabama !“ on his Sunday talk show.

[@rubenadame322]

Amazing kid wish him nothing but the best in his future

[@chrislane5145]

GREAT football player. Better leader.

[@joewilliams3919]

Really like the class and humility Devonta shows with the bobbleheads - his discomfort with the spotlight is a testament to the fact that Alabama recruits good guys not just great athletes

[@ballersteph590]

How can’t you like smitty super humble

[@turng41]

IMHO Best wide receiver to play at BAMA.

[@n26061983]

Best player ever? 2 chips Heisman?

[@JB-vt5sz]

Devonta is in the conversation of best all time in college football.

[@kingcollins3965]

Guess you never heard of julio Jones lol. But it's your opinion, so respect that. He is a beast tho!

[@JB-vt5sz]

@@kingcollins3965 I have, but Julio doesn't compare collegiately. Sorry bro

[@turng41]

@@kingcollins3965 I don't disagree, julio didn't have the QB's throwing the ball to him or the coordinators the Smith has had. They both have been a God sent for Bama football.

[@jerryglen986]

What class, Devonta Smith shows. Bright future for a very talented man.

[@truthseeker9688]

You would think that I gave birth to this guy...I am SO proud for him! Lol. But I have been one of his most loyal fans since the first time I saw him play. I also love his attitude and hard work ethic. He and Mac and Tua just stand out for their humbleness and off the chart Skills. And I give their parents credit, too. Respect.

[@archiedong9696]

Amazing season for him

[@Roc-Righteous]

I love this guy.

[@billp5656]

Of all the great receivers at Bama the Slim Reaper was the best !

[@Sampleador]

Steven forgot about minkah fitzpatrik when ge said saban love more him more than any other player; in Alabama he was called nick saban son

[@g.m.backus5219]

“Take a chance” on DeVonta! This kid is so humble. They were begging him to come to Bama but it was Tua who convinced him.

[@4tfbenjiglo63]

Roll Tide Congrats Devonta Smith Thanks For Your Hard Work. I Wish You Well On Ur Journey Ahead.

[@floridawill]

Max REALLY needed the teleprompter on this one. Keep your eyes up, son.

[@chrismills1991]

Max pretty much ask the same question.. who do you have your eye when the dust settle 😂

[@Supersmashmike101]

Pls Miami get him

[@anthonyledbetter5140]

Best college football receiver in College Football History . Nobody has done more or been better in College Football.

[@travb120]

Did....did she say Heisman trophy winner potentially? I must have heard it wrong

[@Mikevdog]

He got the Super Bowl wrong and everything else right.

[@johnnycomer5712]

He gave you a chance? Like nobody else would?

[@DrSneakers]

🔜🦅

[@donaldbeard6231]

Devante Smith made Mac Jones look great but I didn't think Mac would ever be as good as he was And that goes to show how much I don't know about Mac and I only wish he the best just as I wish All Alabama players Roll Tide

[@faizali2200]

If Miami is smart they will take devonte but all he has to do is add some muscle to his frame

[@HeavyD45]

I know this won’t happen but I would love to see him in Green Bay

[@Gcode609]

Smithy is a stud , he won't make it to 6 to my 🦅🦅🦅

well he was right... it came down to tb defense

That Stephen Stephen A's son you tell by the hairline 🤣😂

[@ryankokobones8324]

Is the ravens draft up, its gonna be for him!

[@clutchboy6156]

Ngl that was dry

[@AK-sq1jl]

Yea ive noticed that Smitty does not give the best interviews. It's a good thing Mac Jones has some personality and is out going because otherwise that Heisman show would've been painfully awkward. It already kind of was tbh.

[@Mustafa777.]

The way I see it he’s focused on the bigger things ahead

[@dlmurray4560]

DeVonta is 🔥🔥🔥 But he might have just lowered my respect for him with the KC Chiefs things....🤧

[@getbig2501]

This guy obviously wishes he could have played at Boise State. Winning a National Championship at Boise State would be for a real champion

[@johnnyd1391]

What’s Boise State?

[@getbig2501]

@@johnnyd1391 In the game of Football Boise State is known as America's team, most winning team in the history of football, in fact Boise State is the most dominant team in the history of football. Out west they don't play that boring soccer brand of football they play down south. Let's be honest SEC football is lame. The tide beat up Mississippi St. and West Carolina then claim they are good. Alabama is way to scared to play anyone anytime and would never take a chance losing to Boise State on the Blue

[@mason.7074]

Saban has had him PAID the last 3 years

Proof?

The industrious brother bodily confuse because europe conservatively touch like a heavenly heavy hellish draw. mature, many part

[@TempeSoldier123]

Saban may be a racist and a white supremacist, but he’s the 🐐 football coach. If I had a Black son, I’d happily to send him to play for Saban because I know he’d be ready for the league in 4 years.

[@virgildailey1970]

What makes you think that Saban is a racist and white supremest? Never heard that said about him. News to me. I’ve heard him called Nick Satan by opposing teams. All of his players seem to love him and he, them. If he was a white supremest or racist, why would his black athletes speak highly of him? Doesn’t make sense.

[@michaelwhite77]

Huh?

You are clearly confusing the nation's greatest College Football Coach with the nation's worst ex-President.
