You get to a situation where it's third down, it's a big play in the game, and the quarterbacks are looking for DeVonta Smith. Elite route runner, this guy is just an adult. He's just somebody I think our fans are going to love. I picture a lot of [Number] six jerseys in our stands in the fall and for years to come." 🔥
