Lol, understandable.

Just looking at some of Smoke's college tape, he'd fit in well in the '90s style of football against a run-heavy league. IMO today's NFL is too petty and quick to blow whistles on a violent, hard-hitting free safety. Smoke plays like a throwback Sammy Knight.

Unfortunately for him, today's safeties have to cover these explosive slot receivers & quick RBs & I don't think he's built for that. His game will be inside the box. I think his ceiling is special teams.

Here's to hoping I'm wrong
