John Metchie believes DeVonta Smith is the best player in college football

Alabama’s offense has garnered a lot of attention this season, and for good reason.

With former NFL offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian dialing up one big play after another with each one orchestrated by quarterback Mac Jones, the Crimson Tide has appeared unstoppable on that side of the football.

For the majority of the season, Jones has been the one receiving much of the praise from the outside with most ready to pen him in as a Heisman Trophy finalist when the regular season concludes.

But sophomore wide receiver John Metchie was prepared to make a different proclamation when he called fellow route runner DeVonta Smith the best player in the country.
