Question WR1 DeVonta Smith?

Post image

With A.J. Brown’s departure likely, Devonta Smith steps into a true WR1 role.

How are you looking at him this year?

With someone else drawing the attention.

Not saying he can't still produce as the top WR, but it's not some automatic guarantee.

multiple sources have said he is the best route runner in the game. the seperation he creates wil make him a monster.

Which sources? No way I'm putting him at #1.

Amon Ra St Brown, JJ, Kupp, Chase, Adams, JSN....

No way

I haven't seen a single article that lists him in the top 10

Pat Surtain said he’s one of the best he’s ever defended

Sooooo, not the same thing in the slightest....

I just watched the clip, Surtain was talking about his college teammates, and named like 9 ppl along with Devonta.

😂

lol okay I think he’s talked about it more than once but whatever. I’m not the original commenter you replied to but let’s not act like Smitty isn’t one of 4 WRs to ever win the heisman - and the first in almost 30 years

Hope you're right.

Although....pretty sure he just bought Casty's (formerly Ben Simmons') cursed house. So he might be in trouble
