Good quick route, devastating tackle but Smith holds on to the ball.



#8 draws the best corner, Smith (#6) cuts nicely underneath. Obviously this may not always work, but I see Smith as potentially a great slot; who can create space anywhere.

Again we look at a route where he didn't get the ball, but it's still interesting to see what he does: fine route, and then a little bump to try and distract the corner from Harris running up the field. I like players with a good attitude off the ball.

Again good blocking off the ball for Brian Robinson (#4).

From the game Alabama - Florida:

Good pass by Jones (#10) but the star is Devonta Smith who makes a tough catch between 3 defenders and still gets 3 extra yards.



Good throw of Jones under pressure.Smith is left free as a bird (quite incredible in a game at this level), crosses the field to pick up the pass and fionally reaches to get the first down.
