Alabama Pro Day results: Smith did not work out.
Johnson's Recon: "When you look at Devonta Smith, the weight, 170 pounds, I think that's what everybody is going to talk about, but when you watch the film, he runs a lot of slants and under routes. He's taking a beating, getting hit, spun around. You look at the Tennessee game, he gets completely de-cleated but he jumps back up, so he has that football toughness, and then his route running. You watch the routes, he's very patient at the line of scrimmage and doesn't let a DB in press [coverage] stifle him and make him second guess what he's going to do. When he's in the open field, he understands coverage. … He understands his steps and the footwork, and he's always chest over knees and knees over toes. I have rarely seen him slip or come out wrong on a route."
