I think Rice and Harrison were masters at route running having great hands. Smith is probably faster (straight line speed) than either Rice or Harrison were in college. Then add in great route running and Odell Beckham type hands.
His ONLY negative is his weight. The kid produced at the highest levels against the BEST teams and best DBs. He literally obliterated these DBs. They knew he was the best WR in the country, they knew he would hurt them, yet they STILL couldn’t cover him. It’s not like they were surprised, they knew was unstoppable, but there was nothing they could do.
Yes Devonta is incredible. He's Marvin Harrison 2.0. Somehow we have people who saw how smurfs like Branch, Welker, Edelman succeeded for almost 2 decades yet want to rule out a WR because of his weight. But, our clueless WR scouting dept or OC thinks this way, and haven't drafted a meaningful WR with a high pick since Branch. Devonta is going to make someone look good. I still hope the Patriots go Defense with the first pick.
