New York Jets rookie wide receiver Arian Smith is doing everything he can to make sure drops don’t define him in the NFL.
The Jets’ fourth-round pick told reporters this week that he’s taking an unorthodox and intense approach to fixing his drop issues. Smith revealed he’s been training with strobe goggles during hand-eye coordination drills, a method designed to sharpen his focus and reaction time.
It's an unconventional solution, sure, but it also goes to show the lengths Smith is willing to go through to improve his biggest weakness entering the NFL.
