Suspended by his coach for the bowl game. Out of shape when he gets to the combine. Leaves a day early -- he says because he wants to get home to hurry up and continue working with his trainer. Right. Smith will be hurt by the fact that, for the second-straight year, there are six or seven very good tackle prospects, and teams would rather have a <strong>William Beatty</strong> (the UConn kid) with maybe a lesser upside than to take a chance on wasting a pick on Smith.
