#Even the opponents of the #Crimson #Tide cannot deny #DeVonta #Smith’s greatness.
#He is the recipient of the SEC #Offensive #Player of the #Year, CBS #Sports #Player of the #Year, #Sporting #News #Player of the #Year and #Associated #Press (AP) #Player of the #Year awards. The legendary wide receiver for #Alabama football is also a finalist for the #Biletnikoff, #Maxwell, #Walter #Camp honors too. #Smith a first-team #All-American selection for #Sporting #News and the AP.
#He is a finalist for the #Heisman #Memorial #Trophy and while he stands with #Mac #Jones for the award, one head coach for the #Southeastern #Conference made a case for #Smith to be the winner. #Kirby #Smart, a former defensive coordinator at #Alabama, is in his fifth season at the helm for the #University of #Georgia.
#He watched #Smith on the receiving end of a game-winning, 41-yard touchdown reception that took a national title away from him in the 2018 #College #Football #Playoff #National #Championship.
#After that moment, #Smart would witness the former four-star do some incredible things.
#One of those feats included burning his #Bulldog secondary again this season. #Smith caught 11 passes in the matchup for 167 receiving yards with two touchdowns in a 41-24 victory for the #Tide at #Bryant-Denny #Stadium.
#According to #Smart, #Smith is the ‘best player in college football.’
