To the OP's point, he maybe small, but he is fast. Do not need height (or weight) if you can just outrun them.
He's better than DeSean Jackson and Jackson was a runt entering the NFL.

A sensitive group this morning. Just passing along information.



And we're simply marveling at how someone that small went on to become (arguably) the greatest receiver in the history of the Southeastern Conference. If not the greatest, certainly the most accomplished.

Pretty astonishing that he's only 166 lbs and hasn't had any major injuries. I honestly thought he was around 180 lbs, so I'm pretty surprised by that.

Speed kills though..

Sometimes smaller guys are able to avoid major hits and are flexible enough to avoid injuries.

I remember Chris Johnson from the Titans a few years back crediting his lack of major leg injuries to the fact that hits usually took him off his feet leading to less hits on a weight bearing leg.

I don’t see why this is such a big deal when half or more of Tom Brady’s rings were with an entire WR corp of guys no bigger than Devonta Smith.This ain’t early 2000s NFL anymore. He can’t get ripped in half by linebackers and safeties over the middle and CBs can’t lay a hand on a receiver anymore past 5 yards from the LOS.

At worst Smitty is a damn solid 2WR in the NFL imo.

All that tells me is several teams will pass on him and he'll fall a little to a much better team and benefit.

My exact weight right now, @ 5'11.

Is Devonta the smallest ever Heisman winner?
