Posted Jul 28, 2018
At season's end former UNC linebacker Andre Smith pushed his chips to the center of the table and declared for the NFL Draft. The Carolina Panthers picked him in the seventh round, adding to an already deep linebacker corps. That depth means there's no time to hold back and worry about injuries. Fearless football is Smith's best shot at making the 53-man roster.
