Mazi Smith Issues

[Deionindahood]

I find it hard to believe that Mazi, a leader of the defense at Michigan and a 1st team Big Ten All Star selection is having a down season. I read once that some players struggle with unfamiliar environments and surrounds once they leave college. Mazi is a Michigan born product who played local high school football and then at Michigan.
Could Mazi be just plain old "homesick"?

His PFF grade of 119 out of 119 for DT's was telling. Don't know what more to say about Mazi that hasn't already been said.

Dude was a reach in the first round that the JonesBoys faked enthusiasm for because they knew it was a reach. He's a total and complete bust. Maybe the biggest bust in team history.

TBH I’m just exhausted talking about Mazi.

He’s a bust and it’s not working here. Good luck to him next season on whatever team he’s on or if football is not in his future, which seems likely.

You think jerry gives up on him that early?

Some 1st round picks just can't play in the NFL.

It happens every year.

Mazi is a zero. Even Taco wasn't this big of a bust.

No matter what position.

I prefer to stick to the Bill Parcells school of thought. You get three years then you are what you are. So he's got 1.5 more years to prove he isn't a huge bust.

Some guys are so bad that you can tell right away that they don't belong in the NFL. Waiting 1.5 years for Mazi to come around is a futile effort.

LOL. You go girl! You really put me in my place.

Mazi isn't having a down season, because he was never up except 1 game. Dude been a dud since he was drafted. They took someone who was unproductive in college and thought he could turn into aaron donald cause he worked out real good for the draft. Wake up and start believing in these kids tape.

Bro is making over 13 mill guaranteed he is good don't feel bad for him. He will flash the tail end of his contract year and Jerry will fall in love and reward him for it. He is doing great for someone who doesn't even like to play football.

You don’t even need grades to tell you, you have your own eyeballs to tell you what’s going on.

Mazi was a Will McClay pick.

"“I don’t even like football, man,” Smith said. “I like hitting people.”

From the horse's mouth

 

[Maverick84]

can still remember them sitting with him at the press conference...

"he's so strong hehehe"

smfh

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Folks tried to rationalize his complete lack of production on his position and scheme while at Michigan.

I even allowed myself to buy into it based off fandom and wanting him to succeed.

There should be no surprises of what he’s done, or more accurately hasn’t done in the NFL.

He’s gonna be a one contract 1st rounder for us.
