Former Tar Heels LB Andre Smith says Panthers got 'a steal' drafting him in 7th round

Posted May 1, 2018
Andre Smith told anyone he ran into at the NFL scouting combine that he would have been one of the top linebackers in the draft if he’d played his entire junior season at UNC. Smith didn’t say whether these conversations took place before or after he popped his hamstring running the 40 in Indianapolis. Not that it matters — Smith’s confidence hasn’t wavered.
