Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Nate Hobbs
Summary

DeVonta Smith is a difficult evaluation simply because he hasn’t played much football. He has fewer than 800 career snaps between Alabama and Notre Dame, with almost all of them coming in the slot. In that limited sample, though, he’s put together quality tape. Smith has the stout frame and rugged play style to hold up inside at the next level, but a nagging calf injury limited his opportunity to show it last fall.

About
  • 2025: 5 starts in 8 games played (Notre Dame)
  • 2024: Alabama defensive (skill) Player of the Week vs. LSU
Strengths
  • Physical corner who isn’t afraid to mix it up in the box.
  • No hesitation to his game; triggers downhill with urgency.
  • Long arms and big wingspan for his height.
Weaknesses
  • Just 762 snaps across five seasons.
  • Minimal experience outside of the slot.
  • Left playing catch-up at the top of routes in man coverage.
