Do you think DeVonta Smith is the best WR to play for Alabama?

[@bigjuni2102]

Yup, no doubt.

[@MF-Rell]

Probably.

[@DuragVon]

Uhh... yeah

[@thatnation7407]

Not better than Julio

[@YounginBallin]

No Julio

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

I feel like every player should have this mindset 💯

[@alexnious705]

But he also has a leg to stand on.

[@ISOE651]

Nothing less 💯

[@willrowe6088]

So every player should delude themselves and be their own biggest hype man. It always screams of insecurity and no real inner confidence.

[@undergamer870]

If he said anything less, I would have viewed him differently. He's a small guy and has been proving doubters wrong his entire life. I'm looking forward to him continuing that trend.

[@deemoney9376]

He actually had the best career though

He right when he answered the question... he most definitely had the best career, but Julio is the best in the Saban era.. take into consideration what college football looked like when Ju was in college.. the SEC alone..

[@jnutbutter]

Not fair to really compare juilo and coop in this convo because we throw the ball more now by halftime than we did in a year back then lol. Saban believed in running the ball 60 times a game and a stout defense back then. Now u gotta throw the ball a lot more, plus we actually get blue chip qbs now

[@legendaryzay7441]

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.” KJV✝️🙏🏽❤️ God gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us in truth. Practice training up your children in the way they should go, that God’s Word that is planted in their heart from the youngest of age, will not turn void. I pray all your children will not depart from God’s Word in their heart~Rebekah Lyons✝️🙏🏽❤️ Here are some ways you can help the kids in your life grow closer to God. You can complete a Bible Plan with them, you can read the Bible with them, you can live out your faith in front of them, you can talk to God with them everyday, you can invite them to church with you and so much more! Everyone has experience with this because we’re all someone’s child. Some of us had good experience with our parents, while others have endured hurt and pain. No one is a perfect parent, but the good news is there is only One who parents perfectly, and He’s ready to guide us! God is our Creator, Provider, and Father!! And because of what Jesus did for us, we get to be called children of God. There is no way to list all of what God does and who He is, but here are several ways God is a Father to us: He loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins (1 John 4:9-11). He corrects us, and being disciplined bring out some of the greatest breakthroughs (Hebrews 12:7-8,11). He provides for us (Matthew 6:25-34). He forgives our sins when we faithfully confess them to Him (1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:9-12). He makes a home for us, and a place is being prepared for us when Jesus returns to get us (John 14:1-4). As a parent consider these truths about our God as our Father and see where you need to grow as a parent. Prayer: God, please show me how to raise my children in a way that honors You and inspires them. Draw the kids in my life close to You-even when I cannot. Protect them and bless them, and give me the wisdom I need to help them grow in their faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen✝️🙏🏽❤️ Stay Blessed and Encouraged!! God loves you and so do I✝️🙏🏽❤️
