Congrats to Chris Smith. Would love to know more about him. Clearly he’s a smart guy since he went to Harvard. What was his major? Was his plan to always try for the NFL, even when he was at Harvard?

Love this team and love he people Brad Holmes and the scouting department find. Based on Dan Campbell’s quote in this article, he definitely seems very coachable. And if you can keep grinding on he practice squad then he’s got the grit too.
