He is schemed open a lot, too..even if it isn't needed..and let me tell you, the whole SEC more or less sucked on defense last year, including Bama and Georgia when they played elite offenses, especially...so idk..it was a major down year on defense..I'll admit that. Not totally an excuse, but not a normal year by any means.
Regardless, for me, it is still:
1. Ja’Marr Chase
2. Jaylen Waddle
3. DeVonta Smith
Ja’Marr Chase dominated the SEC in '19 similar to what D. Smith did in a normal, non-pandemic, good/great SEC Defense year...can't be forgotten.
DeVonta Smith also dominated in 2019, when he wasn't moved around as much. His game vs Stingley Jr is perhaps the best one game by a CFB WR when accounting for level of competition and what he was actually doing (beating press).
But, the overall defenses in 2020 don't matter. The CB play is what matters, and Smith faced some legit NFL CB's - Stingley Jr, Horn, Stokes, Joseph, etc..
