AuburnNTexas 7,334 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I love Smoke but he was a feast or famine type player. He played hard and made some unbelievable plays but also got lost and was out of position. I am in the camp he is an NFL ST player and backup Safety, but put on 15-20 pounds and could carve out a spot as a star or outside LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,751 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Is he going to cry about his NFL HC not meeting every single person in his extended family and becoming friends with them? Lol Who cares what he does? He hurt Auburn’s future recruiting by whining about the coach. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good player. he wasn't elite. This board has had this same convo about WRs and ppl trying to claim "good" Auburn players as elite when none of them were.

Right, he was Auburn good Another way to think about it...would he have started at safety for any of the playoff teams? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was he a 1st round draft pick. That doesn't always apply b/c you can be college elite at some positions, but not project to the NFL. Nick Marshall is one I think of. We've had a good amount of elite corners in the last 20 years. I'm not sure we have any elite safeties that I can think off the top of my head. Def some good ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,085 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It was Malik Willis. Bunch of us wanted him to move to safety because he can't be a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
