Jackie Smith talks extensively about the drop that almost ruined his life

Honestly, I don't know which of these players, if any, will be HOFers. I simply listed guys who have the skill set to be special and who I see as having the longevity to be in the NFL, playing at a high level long enough to get consideration. They may never reach the level needed or they may. It's just to hard to say but look at that match up and I see the possibilities. The other thing you have to have is popularity. Both of these teams are dearly loved by the media and the NFL. They get plenty of ink and that's a big part of it IMO.

Fair enough.

Well looking at the gif, it is a poor pass by roger that caused jackie to have to slide down to get a chance to catch it.
Had roger led him properly it might have been a td.
So Roger was at fault more than jackie.

I will add that when going down and stopping for the bad pass, the ball is harder to judge and catch, and it hit his shoulder pads and bounced off.

Much harder to catch a ball when your sliding down and having to quick stop for a ball
that was actually thrown behind him.
Had he kept running the ball would have been behind him.
