He is an elite technician. He won the damn Heisman Trophy, which would never happen for receivers. So, yeah, like yeah, he's he's check box, it's been checked. He's done it. He's continued to do it in the NFL on a every year basis
STACKED’s take
DeVonta Smith is a proven elite technician ready for a featured WR1 role
Matt Harmon is highly confident in DeVonta Smith as a featured WR1, citing his proven three-year track record and elite technical skills. Smith recorded a career-best 84.6% success rate versus zone coverage (90th percentile in Reception Perception history) and maintains elite success rates against man (76%), zone (85%), and press (77.6%) coverage. Harmon notes Smith is locked in as the primary X receiver, where he will utilize his versatility (93% success rate on out routes, 85% on digs, 79% on posts) to thrive in the team's evolving offensive scheme. While minor limitations exist regarding top-end speed on nine routes and YAC, Harmon views him as an elite technician ready for a lead receiver role.
