I could watch Smitty's highlights all day. Dude was such a beast for an average sized guy.

Average sized?  I'll admit that for NFL standards Smith was definitely not what id label your prototypical player but calling him average sized is a stretch. I mean I am 5-9 - 5'10 myself and even at the height of what I would consider my biggest build ( I lifted pretty serious for about 3-4 years ), I was still probably 10-15lbs of muscle off from Smith.  Dudes calves were about the size of watermelons.

Smitty was always accused of smuggling cinder blocks in his socks.  Dudes leg muscles were intense.  Little bastard could jump through the roof.

Probably should have used "smaller by NFL standards" than "average sized". But I agree, the dude was built like a house of freaking bricks. His muscle strength is probably one of the best reasons he could jump higher than opposing DBs.

I figured thats what you met...sorry didn't mean to split hairs or anything.  Back when I used to lift regularly, my arms and shoulders got huge ( my best attribute ).  People used to stop me all the time and ask about my diet / how I lifted...etc.  I am more or less 5' 9" and probably topped out weight around that time was 175lbs with 10-12% body fat.  People def didn't consider me average size for a regular person.  Compared to some massive body builder I was of course a little guy or even an NFL player.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By TD alt · Posted

      More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?

      Goodbye to Barno

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
