Probably was told he would be a 2nd rounder due to the deep class and overshadowed by Jeudy at least. Even though Smith out -produced him. This is just a guess and it looks like it worked out.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:15 pm Why did Smith go back to school? Does anybody know if there was an extenuating circumstance? He lead Bama in receiving yardage last year, I assume he got back feedback about his draft slot.
Only slight downside for rookie drafts is that Smith will be 23 midway through his rookie year (ditto for Waddle).
