NFL Scouts are freaking out over Devonta Smith weight 6002 166lbs

[42 Monks]

nikka you think he gonna be 166 when he suits up in the league???.......c'mon now.....like I said his weight won't be a problem and he will bulk up....will probably be 175 when it's time.....

you don't just throw on muscles real quick then play high level in a few months. that's just inviting soft-tissue injury

draft is about long-term success of a guy and someone who's suddenly high risk as fukk out the gate is obviously gonna see their stock become questionable

i got no idea why you're saying weights not a big deal or even acting like 175 isn't dangerous either. you don't get to 'just' run routes in the NFL.

Bruh that is done all the time, what you talking about??....like I said I'll up this thread when the season starts and I'm sure bruh won't be 166...they listed him at 175 when he played at Bama....bruh is extremely talented and elusive and does not have a history of injuries....

 

[Darealtwo1]

Man I'm done with twitter.....Tell me why they saying Smitty gotta go to a dome team because the elements might sweep him away like a plastic bag

 

[MikelArteta]

DeSean Jackson already proved that weight doesn't make a difference.

hollywood brown was 157lbs his rookie season

 

[smitty22]

You was also 17 in the 7th grade too

Did you read what I wrote? It’s the same bullshyt they did with lamar Jackson

I read what you wrote and your logic is extremely flawed.

up it. doesn't really change the risk factor

you keep sayin you know what you're talking about as if you played any game at a professional or near-professional level but like.... rapidly throwing on muscle is one of the biggest red flags for a poor training staff and conditioning program across any sport. you don't just throw on mass quickly and somehow sidestep all of the risk associated with ligaments not being ready to sustain those new gains. and then compounding those concerns in one of the most brutal contact sports in the world by playing significantly under the average weight?

no one saying to not support the guy. just that its concerning as hell and that the league is NOT full of lightweights for reason.

What ?!?

Desean has played like 3 games in the last two years due to injuries and didn't do shyt for the Bucs the year before that

He was NOT a 1st round pick

He also was the fastest player to ever play offense with the exception of Bo Jackson, James Jett, & Rocket Ismail & Randy Moss
..I would argue he's as fast as all of them when fully healthy in his prime

AND .. he's closer to 180lbs not 166.

He weighed 169 at the combine dumbass.

Amd most of his injuries had nothing to do with weight.

 

[Mandizi]

they said the same about desean Jackson and he is smaller than smith.

steve smith jr was just as small.

I'm sayin tho, Jackson (although injury prone) is entering his 14th year and has over 10K receiving yards. I don't see the big deal.
