DeVonta Smith Scores First Alabama Super Bowl TD in Years

DeVonta Smith etched his name into Super Bowl history, ending a long and puzzling drought for Alabama alumni. Consider the sheer number of exceptional players produced by the Crimson Tide, especially during Nick Saban’s tenure: Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry, Julio Jones, and countless others. Even delving further back into Alabama’s football legacy reveals a wealth of talent.  

Yet, remarkably, none of these legendary figures had ever scored a Super Bowl touchdown. It’s a statistic that defied logic, a strange anomaly in the world of professional football. Until today.

With a spectacular play, a long pass from Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, the former Heisman Trophy winner, became the first Alabama player drafted directly from the university to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. This historic moment finally breaks the spell, ending the Crimson Tide’s inexplicable Super Bowl TD drought.  

While Alabama fans may have been disappointed by missing the College Football Playoff, Smith’s Super Bowl touchdown provides a much-needed cause for celebration. It’s a testament to Smith’s incredible talent and a long-awaited moment for the Crimson Tide faithful.
