He isnt quit as fast as the other two guys but he is still really damn fast and wont be caught from behind most likely. Best hands on the team and makes plays in the biggest games when you just have to have a play. I hope he decides to return next year but if he goes he is gonna make himself a very rich man imo.

He's the most slept on player imo. He should go early in the first but all of the mocks say otherwise, which is why I think he could be back next year. If he does return and plays similar to this year, I don't see how he's not a top ten pick next year.

He was the best WR for Alabama this year for sure.

I also can't really think of another play from the Saban era who made such big plays in big time moments as him.

Even in the loss to LSU, he was huge in that game, and was one of the reasons we were able to make it close.

Kevin Norwood, for me, comes to mind. Might not have the TDs but had a knack for vital first downs

You never really know but I'd still bet on Juedy being the most successful.

Jeudy runs amazing routes but I've always thought that Smitty fights harder for the ball. Creating separation and making contested catches are 1a and 1b on the list of top qualities in an NFL WR. I think they'll both have successful pro careers.

I have 3 doubts... ruggs, jeudy, and waddle.

Sometimes elite players like this go on to lay an egg in the NFL but I really think that all four of our elite receivers will shine in the right pro system. A guy like Robert Foster turned in a solid first couple of years and had questionable hands in college. These four guys have it all except elite size.

Cooper...made several big time plays, the long td in the seccg, the long td in the au game (even though we didnt win it). Dude was really amazing.

My only concern about Smitty in the NFL is his weight. He's very generously listed at 175 on Bama's website. I'd feel a whole lot better about him having a long successful career if he goes to the combine or a pro day and weighs in closer to 185.

Yeah, Smitty showed up at Bama at 6'1 and 160 pounds. He plays much bigger than his size and gives 110% when he is asked to block for others. Scouts will see that.

Not sure if he will be the best receiver from this group but he trumped everybody by making All Sec 1st team this year.
