Cowboys' Mazi Smith: 'I Don't Even Like Football. I Like Hitting People'

Dallas Cowboys rookie Mazi Smith is ready for game action.

The first-round pick spoke to reporters Monday, saying he's already tired of talking on the field and is ready to start racking up hits.

"I don't do no talking. We get straight after it, I'm trying to hit you. ... I don't got nothin' to say. I don't even like football. I like hitting people," Smith said.
