Short ride from Crowley, that is about 60 miles, a little over an hour depending traffic.
I guess to some it is short.

But better than a long flight from somewhere. Get him started on the no holding and better hand and foot work right away. Show him Larry Allen film. :D

LG should be an upgrade.

Based on what evidence? because he's "big"? He had 12 holding penalties against Tulsa competition last year and by all accounts is extremely raw technique wise....he has potential but I am not even sure he'll be a starter for awhile.

60 miles... little over a hour? not many people drive under the speed limit in Texas...

he's one of the best run blockers in the class.

I don't know how to link it (or if it's even allowed here) but there is an interview with Smith on NFL.com from Good Morning Football a couple weeks ago.

This kid has the mentality you want and even the GMF crew (for what it's worth) said teams were slotting him as a late 1st round/early 2nd round selection. Also they had some better highlight clips of him than I have seen floating around.

We just might be able to block Jordan Davis after all...
