Hopefully he makes it.
I thought Smokey looked pretty promising as a WR to be getting significant minutes on the field as a freshman and Mullen discarded him forever after a couple drops. He had his moments on defense but it always bothered me some that Smokey was never given a better shot on offense. I mean he was good enough to get playing time as a freshman which was rare for Muffins. Smokey was a victim of Muffins punishing players for far too long for physical errors i.e. dropped pass or punt. It's like he completely forgot about the player after he sent them to Siberia for making a mistake. I am glad Muffins is gone and I wish Smokey the best in his attempt at getting paid to play football. Hope the Lions pick him up and we can have Smokey & Slay to watch.
