WATCH: Nick Saban gives hilarious response to questions over DeVonta Smith’s size

Alabama is saying goodbye to DeVonta Smith as he enters the 2021 NFL draft, but questions regarding his size and his ability persist.

Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban joined the “Rich Eisen Show” today, where he was asked a question about the height, weight and overall size of Heisman-winning wide receiver, DeVonta Smith.

Smith, who weighs roughly 170 pounds and stands around 6 feet, 1 inch, is not as large as the other players at his position.

However, that certainly has not stopped him from being the most decorated college football wide receiver in history, and Saban is now making a case that teams should not shy away if given the opportunity to select him in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft.

Coach Saban offers a great explanation why Smith is a great wide receiver, but offers one line that is hilarious.

“The ball weighs 13 ounces, how big do you have to be to carry it?”
