In Alabama, wide receiver DeVonta Smith was listed at 6 feet 1 and 175 pounds. On the Pro day of school, Smith did not want to be measured or weighed, but said his weight was 170. It turns out he’s a little smaller than that.
Albert Breer of SI.com reports that Smith was weighed and measured at the recent medical examination for NFL prospects in Indianapolis, and Smith actually measured just over 6 feet tall and 166 pounds.
The 166-pound figure will be an eye-opener for some talent evaluators. No one doubts what Smith did on the football field – he won the Heisman Trophy last year – but 166 is small for an NFL player.
Despite his small size, Smith is expected to be within the first dozen choices off the board next Thursday night.
