He is really good at football, but DeVonta Smith also has an eye for fashion.
During his four years at the University of Alabama, he sported the best suits. His attention to detail for his clothing has the same mindset as what he does on the field at wide receiver.
Last week, Smith received his Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award at the Crimson Tide’s spring game. He wore a hoodie from Julian Edelman’s apparel in Bryant-Denny Stadium. NFL teams know what he can do on the field, and DICK’s Sporting Goods has targeted him as its first-ever brand partner for its athletic clothing line.
According to Darren Rovell, a sports business analyst for The Action Network, VRST has signed Smith.

As the exclusive new men’s athletic apparel for DICK’S, VRST has commuter pants, joggers, shorts, T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and quarter-zips. He was the first Alabama wide receiver to win the Heisman, the first receiver to win Associated Press Player of the Year, and Smith finished his career as the Tide’s all-time leading receiver.
Now, he is the face of a popular clothing line.
