The No. 6 worked pretty well for DeVonta Smith at Alabama, so he's decided to keep it in the pros.
Smith told PFT Live he plans to continue wearing No. 6 if it's available with his new team after he's selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Heisman winner will be able to wear No. 6 thanks to a new NFL rule that will allow wide receivers, running backs, tight ends, defensive backs and linebackers to wear single-digit numbers.
Previously, only kickers, punters and quarterbacks were allowed to wear numbers in the single digits.
