Smith’s high school football journey began at Calvary Day School, before transferring to IMG Academy, where he became one of the top high school recruits in the nation. At the University of Georgia, he played a pivotal role in helping the Bulldogs win back-to-back national championships in 2022 and 2023.

Battling through some injuries and given the Eagles' shift to a run-focused attack, DeVonta Smith posted career lows in catches, yards and yards per reception this season. He's done what he's needed to in the postseason so far, hauling in 12 passes for 121 in the Birds' three playoff wins, but he's capable of much more than that.
