Saban explained that Devonta Smith has done “as much this year… as any player that we’ve ever had.” He called Smith “a great leader” and said that not many players can do for their teams what Smith does.

“I don’t see every player play in the country. I love Smitty. I think he’s an outstanding player for our team,” Saban said, via Saturday Down South. “He’s probably done as much this year for our team as any player that we’ve ever had. He’s a great leader on the team. It’s not fair to compare him to somebody else that you didn’t even see, but I don’t think there’s many players in the country that have done more for their team than Smitty does for our team.”
