Legendary Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith made headlines during a preseason matchup last weekend with his bashing of former South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley.
Bentley was unsuspectingly caught in the line of fire with Smith’s comments. The NFLer turned broadcaster was focusing on one of Bentley’s former teammates, Shi Smith, but his praise of the Gamecock wideout quickly turned into an all out attack on the signal caller’s abilities.
Bentley transferred out of the South Carolina program following his senior season to join Smith’s alma mater Utah in 2020.
