NFL Exec: Jeremiah Smith 'Built in a Lab,' May Be 'Most Advanced' WR Ever For His Age
At least one NFL executive is calling Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith potentially the "most advanced receiver" ever for his age, according to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
"To be so young and so technically sound, then you add the physical tools and things get pretty freaky. Like some built in a lab stuff," one exec said, per Schultz.
The 6'3" wide receiver is a freshman and in his first year with Ohio State, he is turning heads as their go-to juggernaut on the field, connecting with quarterback Will Howard seamlessly.
On 63 receptions entering Wednesday's Rose Bowl, Smith had recorded 1,037 yards with 12 touchdowns, adding 47 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, all without fumbling.
