Alabama Crimson Tide offensive lineman capped off an interesting junior campaign by completely blowing up at the combine. Unfortunately, not in the good way as Andre Smith's stock has completely imploded with him not coming off well in interviews, and not to mention him leaving early and telling teams that he was out of shape and not ready to work out at the Scouting Combine.Granted, Andre Smith is still a kid and is quite immature but if he was not ready for the rigors of the NFL, then why did he decide to come out early? Andre Smith has done nothing but hurt his stock and for a player who was once considered the prize offensive tackle in the draft may not be even be top 10 consideration now which in terms of dollars and cents is a significant loss.
Teams are definitely going to red flag this as if he wasn't ready to interview for a job that will make or break his career, what chances are there that this happens again when he has millions of dollars thrown at him? He's going to need to do a lot between now and his Pro Day to prove to NFL teams that he belongs and it starts with SHOWING UP ON TIME!
