First the good news:"I think the potential is there for him to become a quality NFL pass rusher both inside and outside," said Cosell. "(Missouri) lined him up very often inside in their sub packages and then he beat guards because he was a quicker, better athlete. I actually think he's a better natural pass rusher than Da'Quan Bowers, and he has more scheme versatility."
But there's always a flip side:
"The concern with me (about Smith) is that he has the tendency to play too upright and if you do that in the NFL you get driven out because it's not college football, (in the NFL) you're playing against men. He's going to have to work on that. If he loses leverage he will not be able to use any of his athleticsm or power because he'll just be driven out (away from the play) as a stand up guy."

So that's Howard Cosells nephews evaluation of Smith, FWIW ?
