Alabama WR DeVonta Smith, a potential top-10 pick in the NFL draft, says small stature not a problem

Despite winning the 2020 Heisman Trophy, Alabama receiver DeVonta Smith has been faced when one central question throughout this draft process: his weight. After several questions from reporters Monday, Smith revealed that he weighs 170 pounds.

Smith said he plans to officially weigh in for teams Tuesday at Alabama's pro day, but he won't participate in on-field drills or do any other testing. He prefers to let his game tape speak for itself.

One of the top prospects in the 2021 draft, Smith is expected to be a first-round pick. The lingering question is how much his thin frame will impact his ability to be a top-5 or top-10 pick.
