Comparing Jaylon Smith to Larry Bird

[DeaconMoss]

Roger Clemens was drafted in 1983 and didnt pitch for the Sox until 1984....What are we doing here?

These young bucks didn't see Bird vs Magic in college.

Or even enjoyed playing 'One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird' on their Apple II or Commodore 64 like some of us did back in the day....

Until now, I never realized that Jaylon Smith walked into the combine, and before the 40, said "Which one of you guys is finishing second?"

Instead, the Celtics gambled on a basketball player who can’t run and can’t jump.

I guess if you compare him to players now he comes across as unathletic, but I don't think he was a poor athlete for a guy who played from 1980-1992
