This man had an entire season in one half
If he didn't get injured he would had 300+ yards
@@geleneceline2310 That's what I'm saying
@@geleneceline2310 5 tds minimum lol
That's a terrible season.
Anybody who has 12 receptions and 215 yards is a season is not a good wide receiver.
Fun fact. He hasn’t fumbled one time in college. He might be slim but he’s definitely not weak. Especially considering he’s often in the slot going across the middle
Wow thats an amazing stat. Are u serious? Not 1 fumble
@@paulkeys1216 not one I looked it up
@@Ah-ws9nm wow thats unheard of at any level. Hopefully he can teach that to other skill players.
Ball security at its very best
Ppl look at his size an be like he’s skinny but he is strong watch @0:41 it took 3 ppl to bring down someone that’s 170 wow an that didn’t bring him down 😂
Play calling was amazing. The best I’ve seen in a while.
Sark was dialed
This man would have had 400+ yards if he would have played the entire game.
i know right
He was definitely on pace for a 400 yard receiving day!
Did he get hurt?
@@CharlesUrban he broke his finger but he will be fine by the combine
@@XternalStarz Ow. Well, he has plenty of time to heal up and then get ready to run a 4.2 40.
Who here is an Eagles fan like me watching because we just drafted him???
I been wanted him yo, and I'm so glad we got him 🦅🔥
Back after praying we drafted him after this performance. When we traded back, no way I thought we’d land him in Philly .
I'm hyped!
Facto I'm hyped
me!
Devonta top 10 greatest college players of all time , the list of accomplishments is crazy. But 2 National Championships, Natty MVP, game winning catch freshman year. Gotta talk about it
He whack bruh
Never really thought about it but yeah a heisman from wr spot is already insane but the game winning catch in the championship and natty mvp definitely puts him up there
...A degree, top 5 draft grade, owns pretty much every school and conference receiving record. For sure, gotta be one of, if not the most accomplished careers in college football history. In recent times I think only Tebow comes close.
@@Jeremy-pb5xk the only thing that hurts him is that he didn't start until junior year
@@lucasnogueira1137 may not be his fault, he was our best receiver last year while Jeudy & Ruggs will still here. Just didn’t get recognition. Had like a 5 TD game last year and still put in work freshman and sophomore year. Played behind some First Round NFL receivers too
The kid's speed is on another level....he was outrunning DB's that had an angle.
One of the best playcalling I've seen in a while. The way they move Smith around to create a speed mismatch before the play even starts is amazing.
shoutout to coach Sark
Just remember Bama wrs of Jerry Jeudy,Julio Jones,Calvin Ridley,Amari Cooper,J. Waddle and Devonta Smith like talk about Bama wrs core over the years and Ruggs too.
Metchie will be a stud to be only a sophmore his time to shine will be next year
And the TEs
Yeah dont forget Ruggs. He will have a bright future.
Alabama is rb and wr university
@@divinebeing2476 OSU is WRU too

Why does Smith look like he cruising when everyone else is running?
thats why his nickname is "the golden gazelle"
Just how skinny people are lol,im skinny too
@@bamaboxwx4634 “slim reaper”
@@filaybull4138 great one too! The Golden Gazelle one is from unofficial assistant coaches.
He only played the first half that’s insane
Im not big on college football so why didn't he play the second half?
@@coldfang1232 he's going pro and didnt won't to get hurt cause they had a big league
@@killionaire6891 yea lead what I meant
he would have had no less than 400 receiving if his hand wasn't hurt.
@@malachiarnold4057 That’s not what happened he actually hurt his finger at the beginning of the 3rd and had to leave for the rest of the game
This was amazing to witness! Bro is special. He runs like he’s floating
Alabama has the best wide receivers. From Julio Jones to this guy here they just keep producing talent
Truth 💯
He won't be a number one receiver in the NFL. Guys are stronger, technically better, and faster. In order for him to excel he's going to have to have a true number 1 threat at the other wide receiver spot and a tight end that you have to account for.
Or talent is coming to Alabama
@@bullydakidd2023 you have no idea.
Slim Reaper strikes again. Shaun Wade wanted him, well, he got him.
He wanted him for?
Got him??? Are you sure??? Lol he couldn’t find him.
@@ive_beenthere_2638 Funny! But technically incorrect. All you had to do was look in the endzone. He was there.
Shuan wade got sliced up by devonta. U always thought wade was over rated and I was proved right. The first 2 games where he faced stiff comp he got exposed.

A real special cat there. Definitely deserved the heisman.

And you do? Stop whining
@@procurrygaming9418 He'll break 3000 yards imo.
I truly do not even think he was running all out on a lot of those plays lmao crazy
Reminds me a lot of JERRY RICE. Not saying he will have that type of career, but he makes the spectacular look routine. Smith's highlights aren't insane like a Jaylen Waddle's are, but Smith really makes it look easy.
Yep...those of us who grew up watching Jerry can definitely see the resemblance. Both of their game speeds we're on a another level than anyone else on the field. The hands, smooth route running, acceleration after the catch is all Jerry like.
He literally broke most of jamar chases records that took chase the whole championship game last year to break, playing just 1 half of football. And people try to say Jamar chase is a better receiver. GTFO here!!
Chase actually had other player-makers playing with him. Jefferson was really overlooked he was a beast and he showed it in the nfl
@@JasJasFresh i agree, Jefferson is a beast. Chase, Jefferson, Smith, waddle, jeudy, and ruggs are all beasts. Some of the absolute best receivers to ever do it.
@@caseydangar1193 ong you just crushed his comment 😂😂😂

He reminds me of Hopkins.

DeVonte Smith should be the #1 pick among receivers in this upcoming NFL draft
True but some ppl got Ja'Marr Chase over Devonta Smith too
If Waddle is fully healthy, I think he goes ahead of Devonta, but both will be great picks in the draft.
@@archipiratta he said receiver
@@zachfarrar22 Ma bad fam. Meant to say Waddle. Just corrected myself
@@murphybrown1366 see edit bruv. Should've said Waddle. Got a bit mixed up
Dang, it was fun watching an extraordinarily talented receiver torch the Ohio State secondary. DeVonta Smith, thank you.
So weird that Waddle went first. I guess teams really want that burner, but Smith does everything at such a high level. Natural hands catcher, great extension, body control, feet, route running, IQ/zone awareness. I like Waddle, but I thought it was Smith/Chase>Waddle for sure, as far as draft order.
Waddle was actually leading Bama that same yr in rec yards and touchdowns b4 he got hurt. Had smithy got hurt, waddle would of put up similar numbers or possibly higher. So teams saw his potential
Jones throws a good ball 😳
Yes he does. Without Mac this Heisman may not have happened. Yea he made Mac look good but Mac also made DS look good. Bama has had great receivers and offensive lines in the past but never a QB that hit open receivers like Mac Jones has.
Champion. Winner. Very good at managing the pocket and feeling pressure.
@@lifeisgood3589 tua? Letter profile people just say anything
With an nfl line.
@@Gator1DontPlayNoShit Yea even Tua did not make the consistent hit the receivers open and in stride like MAC. There's a reason why Mac broke all the BAMA records and even some NCAA records - Even Tua's - Mac made better decisions on more of a consistent bases then TUA. I'm a BAMA fan and a Tua fan.
As a fan of another SEC team, I've learned to appreciate Saban's approach to the game, the assistant coaches he attracts, and the players he recruits, like D. Smith. I will also be glad when Saban retires or ascends directly to football heaven.
😆🤣
ROLL TIDE!! 😁😁
OSU DC: He already has 180+, so let’s try putting a linebacker on him
Seems like a great kid too. Best of luck in the future.
Just seeing him stand before the game at the coin toss I knew it was over over
This was a clinic on how to get the ball in your best receiver’s hands. Pre snap motion like crazy. OSU NEEDS to use this to get the ball in Marvin Harrison Jr’s hands this week against Michigan.
bama and GOAT saban strike AGAIN. #7
Heisman winner and now national champions !
Dude looked like he wasn’t even running lol this mans jogged on them the whole night hahaha

My favourite part of the video is when number 6 catches the football
almost like these are his highlights how crazy
🙄
First thing smoking out the NFL DRAFT
I have seen this movie before! Some things never Change!
They drew up some dope plays for this guy. That’s the way you get the ball in the hands of your most dangerous player. He butchered their secondary!!

@@johnnyd1391 😀 ya I think it would be pretty stupid to give up on him after only 1 year. Just build a good O line and give him weapons and see what he can do. He needs to get a little bigger stronger and another year past his hip injury should help
Thanks devonte
He caught it & looked the other way. 🔥
The way he makes everything look so effortless is amazing!
Congrats to Bama! As a OSU fan yeah this sucks. But we lost to one of the best teams I have ever seen. They deserved this game way more then us and played harder. Good luck next year.
Jalen hurts needs to remember him and throw him the ball more. This kid is unstoppable frfr
I know he’s a little slight but it’s absolutely stupid that any WR was selected before him.
I just don’t get how two wide receivers were drafted before him, Cincinnati and Miami overthinking the obvious.
No lmao
unstoppable
A BEAST. We're gonna miss him.
the bama QB is nice for real. wow
A truly special performance by Mac Jones targeting DS and placing the football where Devonte could have all this success. I believe they both should have won the heisman.
Despite his slight frame I believe he will be a star in the league
SEC on top once again! Bow down to the greatest conference ever!!
Well earned Bama 😎🏆
Hahaha bro if he would have played the second half, then he would have actually broke a sweat 😂😂😂😂
Wanted him on my Giants but he's gonna be long gone

He’s very quick. His burst is excellent. I don’t like the scheme though. Gives him way too many matchups against linebackers and safeties.

His game may even translate even better in the nfl with the spacing and his speed. He had 215 Receiving yards. 215 is philly area code. It’s meant to be. Welcome to Philadelphia
Ohio St corner backs said they wanted D Smith , he gave them ALL of him , spanking them without MERCY🤦😂
Roll tie 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think the OSU DC didn't get the news flash that Smith won the Heisman. You'd think the defense would've kept track of his every step on the field or maybe bracketed the man.
