Jaylon Smith

[Rockport]

Just wanted to say there’s no player I have more respect for than Jaylon Smith. After suffering a torn ACL and LCL with severed nerves and told his career was probably over, he’s come back to be a force in the NFL. This guy worked at Burger King during college so he had a little of his own money to pay for gas. He never stops smiling and his attitude is infectious throughout the locker room. I’ve never heard any of the haters here give him any credit as they are too focused on hating. He is one of the best storied in the entire NFL and we are extremely lucky to have him. We can all learn from his perseverance, attitude and dedication throughout his entire career.

Yes! This young man is someone kids should look up to. He seems like an amazing individual from the outside. We are lucky to have him.

Rocky, it would have been better to just praise Jaylon and his overcoming the odds than to bring the h word into it or taken shots at other posters. I've not seen anyone not praise his fortitude and perseverance, even those unhappy with picking him because he couldn't play and might not ever. Just the opposite, I've seen them say they knee jerked on that and are glad he's a Cowboy.

We all love him...

Until he leaves and starts bad mouthing the team. --JK.

So you’re saying should hold out for Wagner money?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Even Cowboys haters like Jaylon Smith.

I hope he never leaves Dallas but I will still be a fan of him and his game if he does.

 

[ChuckA1]

Rockport, everything you say about Jaylon is true. We do need to pay tribute to the FO also for recognizing his abilities / character and sticking with him.

I mean the person not the pick. A lot of people thought the pick was a mistake and he proved them wrong but they thought it was Jerry's blunder.

 

[ChuckA1]

A lot of people said they hated the pick. Said he'd never play again and would never overcome the drop foot problem. Yes, there were many that hated the pick.

I don’t think anyone has hated on him personally but they sure hated the 2nd round pick. Just pointing out that the well known group of haters here have never given him any props either.

 

[CF74]

Jaylon is TremenDestest!!!

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Carson Wentz’s ballboy and that CalPolyITT Tech guy come to mind as adamant that Jaylon wouldn’t ever recover enough to be worth the pick. There were others. They are notoriously quiet these days on Jaylon threads

I hated him when he was playing for Notre Dame.

I hated him when he was playing for Notre Dame.

That’s a good testament.

Probably #1 favorite player on Dallas right now. Hope he is a Cowboy long term...in the ring of honor and has a Super Bowl ring.
