Love that.  Players seem to respond to former players who were very good.

Steve Smith Jr., for all of his talking during his career, backed it with tremendous effort and practiced more than everyone on his team. That he attends NFL camps, such as the Giants, to coach up the young receivers is a gift and blessing for these kids who can look up to him as an example of how to make it in the NFL and, also, have someone they can always turn to as a big brother of sorts.

We may have despised him as an opponent who tore the Giants up in his heyday; however, to see this dynamic of the man, the person who cares about helping the youngsters breaking in, regardless of the team, is one of the positive stories the NFL should be proud of and lucky to have a man of this character to channel his desire to coach in this unique manner.

Peace!

His Nabers eval starts at 6:06.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

The funny thing is, we're old.  We remember his career.  I wonder how much the young players know of him.

LOL! I keep forgetting that we're old and washed up and we look at SS Sr. as a youngster! Thank goodness for the NFL Films Archive, I guess!

Peace!
