Alabama Football: 3 takeaways from blowout win over Kentucky

1. DeVonta Smith is a top-10 NFL draft pick

A staple of the Tide’s offense for three seasons being a major contributor for all three. It’s likely he will top last year’s numbers when he recorded 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns and he has more than proven his worth. Let’s not forget he was the guy that made the catch to ultimately won Alabama the national title in 2018.

Smith would make a great receiver for any team. Many have compared his breakaway speed to Stefon Diggs and the Colts’ Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison. Let’s also note that he’s been successful under three different quarter

Though he is not the best receiver in this upcoming draft as that distinction would have to go to Ja’Marr Chase, don’t be shocked with that he moves up draft boards if he continues playing the way he is and impresses scouts during the draft process.

For Kentucky it doesn’t seem like things will get better as they will head down to Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators and the quarterback who took over for Feleipe Franks when he got injured in Lexington and started his run as the Gators’ quarterback in Kyle Trask.

Alabama’s next game is against hated rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl which is always prime for a wild finish.
