Demarcus Ayers Excited To Work With Danny Smith
There’s a natural excitement for any rookie. To buckle your chin strap for the first time, officially breaking into the NFL. So while it’s no story that seventh round pick Demarcus Ayers is happy to be with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was specifically asked about working with special teams coach Danny Smith.
“I like his fire,” he told Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews. “I like his edge. He’s a very competitive guy. I like that he thinks highly of me. Just for me to have the opportunity to come in and compete for a job as a punt returner or kick returner. I just like him. He’s putting a lot of pressure on me and I’m excited for the opportunity.”
