When UCF wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith was conducting a formal media session at the NFL Scouting Combine last month, there were a few reporters asking him questions.
But since his availability was at the same time as quarterbacks Josh Rosen and Mason Rudolph, hundreds of media members were jostling with each other and climbing on stools, just a few strides away.
“A lot of people don’t know Tre’Quan Smith,” he said. “I want to show everybody who Tre’Quan Smith is.”
Smith, who starred at Village Academy High School in Delray Beach, was a bit off the radar because it was uncertain if he would declare for the NFL Draft after his junior season.
But after strong performances at the combine (4.49 seconds in the 40-year dash) and the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama (5 catches, 79 yards, 1 touchdown) more people know who Smith is.
In fact, Smith may have improved his draft status from a possible 6th- or 7th-rounder to a possible 4th- or 5th-rounder.
