Earlier this week, Rod Smith told Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette, “I feel I’m deserving but I don’t get to vote...” when asked about him not getting a serious look as Hall of Fame candidate.
As a long-time member of Broncos Country who actually watched this man play the game, let me start by saying Rod Smith was an absolute badass on the field of play. He made big catches in big games and always looked like a guy that was just hungrier than everyone defending him on every play he went after. I friggin’ love me some Rod Smith.
