Be honest: When you heard Denard Robinson and De’Veon Smith were both playing running back in the AAF, you really were only excited about the former.
That’s not a knock on Smith, who rushed for over 2,200 yards in his 4-year Michigan career. It’s just that Denard is Denard. 502 total yards vs. Notre Dame Denard. Last quarterback to beat Ohio State Denard. You get it.
This week in AAF action, the two met as Smith’s Orlando Apollos visited Robinson’s Atlanta Legends. It was Smith who won the day, as he rushed 13 times for 40 and three touchdowns in a 36-6 road victory.
