Former Alabama wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle will both be playing big roles in their first season in the NFL with their respective teams.
Waddle was drafted at No. 6 by the Miami Dolphins and Smith was selected No. 10 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
ESPN’s Mike Clay put together his projected top-five rookies for different categories, Smith and Waddle made the cut.
Clay predicts Smith will finish second in receiving yards among rookies with 964 yards, and tied for fifth in touchdowns from scrimmage with five.
Down in Miami, Clay has Waddle at No. 3 for receiving yard with 875, but does not have a number listed for touchdowns from scrimmage, as he believes Waddle would finish with fewer than five.
