Former Louisville football wide receiver Jaylen Smith was the lone Cardinal to get an invite to this year’s 2019 NFL Scouting Combine. Smith needed to test well to improve his draft chances after a poor showing at the Senior Bowl, and that’s exactly what he did.
Coming off his 2017 first team All-ACC season where he posted career highs in receptions (60 receptions), receiving yards (980 yards) and touchdowns (7 TD), the former Card was nearly a sure-fire draft prospect following his junior season.
Unfortunately for Smith, a late season wrist injury and a Cards slide to end the season forced the former Card’s hand.
