DeVonta Smith’s NFTs Offer Unprecedented Access, According to Jack Settleman

Smith was a standout wide receiver at Alabama. Last season, he reeled in 117 catches and found the endzone on 23 different occasions. He led the NCAA in both catches and touchdowns scored.

When Alabama defeated Ohio State in the National Championship, Smith was voted MVP. In the first half alone, he had three touchdowns and 215 yards.

But Smith’s involvement in the NFT world won’t stop on draft day. The Heisman Trophy winner plans on engaging with his fans by creating “Smitty Coins.” Fans will be able to use those coins in a variety of unique ways to get exclusive access to Smith. 

Here are the things you can do with “Smitty Coins”: 

• Play video games with Smith
• Facetime with him 
• Dinner
• MNF Watch Party
• Go to a game and meet with him on the field 
• Signed gear and memorabilia 

Previously in these blogs, I have talked about all of the celebrities trying to capitalize on this wave. However, some of their efforts have fallen short and been clear cash grabs. With Smith, though, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Smith appears to understand the NFT community and wants to provide utility to any of the buyers of his products. From what we know, he is entering the space in the right way. Smith’s focus seems to be in the long-term and not as a short-term way to make a quick buck.

Hallelujah.
