Jaylon Smith works to recover from injury, out to prove he will dominate in NFL

[zrinkill]

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Jaylon Smith told his trainer to hang on and picked up the ringing phone. It was another NFL team checking in, another round of questions, another round of polite answers with the most important one still out of reach.

This is my number for draft day, yes sir. Weight back up to 240 pounds, yes sir. Doing great, rehabbing, leg pressing, squatting, bungee and resistance running, cleared to do all that, yes sir.

I want to see/hear about his prognosis now. I have never been more interested in a press conference than I am in the next one for the Cowboys.

Bruce Carter anyone?

Before the sky decides to fall, I'll put faith in the Cowboys Medical Peeps...

No one can tell you when or if the nerve will ever be right.

If the doc that performed the surgery is on our staff, you can't say we're not going in eyes wide open. Maybe they know something we don't know.

 

[YosemiteSam]

For all you haters of this pick.

 

[erod]

Absolute best player in the draft, bar none. We wait.

Big cajones.

 

[wilfred]

He will be fine. We will have 2 first round talents joining the Cowboys after next years draft.

Bruce Carter anyone?

The possible reward is so much greater.

 

[Zordon]

Bruce Carter anyone?

please....jaylon has 100x the heart carter ever had.

Watched every play of this kid's career. He's special.

2016 - recovery year. A ghost pick
2017 - His rookie season essentially
2018 IF he pans out, this is when he'll come into his own.

Trash pick. Didn't even think much of him as a prospect before the injury.

The Cowboys doctor would have the best idea about it though

 

[willia451]

I would be interested to know what the Cowboys plan is to help the defense right now.

I mean, I get it. Two first round picks. One deferred. But...........

Smith obviously is not going to be one of those guys to help heading into 2016.

Thats great, too bad this years season is going to be played.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Not a Fan of this pick, too much risk, where's Romo's help on this small window left?

 

[TheCount]

Great player but if you win 4 games, drafting a guy that might not play this year after taking a RB 4th overall is borderline arrogance. You can have balls and still get bent over, hope this all shakes out.

You are the only one.
