In 1986, Bruce Smith finished his rookie year with the Buffalo Bills. It was an "ok" year, he had 6.5 sacks.
His coach said he was "overweight, self-indulgent, and had poor practice habits."
Bruce had potential, but he'd have to work for it.

Hanahan's Tre Smalls (NC A&T football alum) caught an eye at a combine last yr. Got a pro tryout. Flew out to Colorado. Made the team. Signed a contract.
Not w/the Denver Broncos.
Not even in football. A pro RUGBY contract w/the Colorado XO's. Oh yea, he's never played rugby.
