He did do hand, arm, and wingspan measurements.

It is not uncommon for a football player to lose 10 lbs. during the season either, so maybe he started at 170 lbs. and then lost weight.

It was a smart move by DeVonta Smith. 

Even if he weighed in at 180 he has at least a month possibly 2 months until Alabama's Pro Day to bulk up and get his 40 time down while carrying the weight. Smith's season finished later than alot of these guys who have been training since early to late December.

If he can get to 180 to 185 and run a high 4.4 or low 4.5 he's golden...If he bulks up and runs a high 4.5 to low 4.6 that's a problem.
