He won the 2020 Heisman Trophy, which is the college football's highest honor, and the last receiver to win the award was Desmond Howard in 1991 (Michigan).

DeVonta Smith has been discussed as a potential top-five pick who could be the first receiver selected in the 2021 NFL draft. He is predicted to pick by Minnesota at No.14. The Vikings have spaces to load on defense, but they could give Kirk Cousins a heck of a trio by combining Smith to a receiving team that already includes Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.
