Nineteen quarterbacks and 335 total prospects were invited.HE SAID IT: "I was hearing talk before the combine that there was a realistic possibility I wasn’t going to be picked.Brett Smith expects you to doubt him.Go ahead; he dares you. He’s seen it before, and he’ll see it again probably sooner rather than later. Tell him he’s too small to compete in the NFL, just like the nameless, http://www.giantsnflofficialauthentic.com/authentic-weston-richburg-jersey.html faceless Twitter critics with the seething 140 character evaluations. Point out his low release point, or his concussions, or the fact that he set all those records at a lowly Mountain West school galaxies away from the pageantry of the SEC.Wyoming? Where’s that?Brett Smith has seen and heard it all. When you promise he’ll never adjust to taking snaps under center, make sure to tag him in the tweet. If you feel so inclined to pick apart his game tape like it’s a blooper reel, you’re really doing him a favor.While all the naysayers snicker, Smith digs in. He grows stronger."I’m trying to impress teams and not draft analysts. At the end of the day, none of them are going to draft you," Smith said from his training complex in California. "They’re just there to talk and try to make evaluations. And the bottom line is that a lot of them are wrong 90 percent of the time."I try not to focus a whole lot on it, but obviously with Twitter nowadays you see something, and there’s some nice things I see about meand then a lot of bad stuff. So the stuff that I have seen, most of the time I’m like, ’All right, it doesn’t matter.’ It doesn’t get to me. But obviously there’s also an attitude of ’Geez, this person says that, and it’s another person to prove wrong.’"That list is growing by the day. Smith the 6 foot 2, 211 pound Wyoming giantsnflofficialauthentic.com/authentic-odell-beckham-jr-jersey.html quarterback who scribbled his name all over the school’s record books during his three seasons in Laramie was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, which kicks off without him on Saturday.There were 335 invitations to hand out, and his must have been lost in the mail. In all, 98 underclassmen declared for the NFL Draft. Smith is one of only 13 that won’t compete in Indianapolis."I was hearing talk before the combine that there was a realistic possibility I wasn’t going to be picked," Smith said. "I was kind of like, ’Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Again?’ It’s just like high school, where a lot of people tell me I can’t do it."A recap of Smith’s journey to today: The scrawny kid with the fiery attitude and the deceptively elusive running style dominated the prep scene at West Salem High School in Oregon. But instead of grading him by his numbers, Division I colleges dismissed him based on his diminutive frame.They judged the book by its cover, then refused to buy the book.Instead of landing in a college football hotbed, he joined an island of misfit toys at Wyoming. And for three years, the Cowboys scored a lot of points and turned a lot of heads.Why? Because they said he couldn’t."None of that matters when you go to work with the mindset that you can achieve it. That’s why we were productive offensively at Wyoming, because I had the confidence to go out there and play and we had other guys with that same attitude."So, excuse Smith if the verbal jabs are little more than glancing blows. In fact, he might just thank them for pouring gasoline on an inferno that’s been blazing his entire career."He handles it the way he should which is to work," Smith’s father, Kevin Smith, said. "Some guys, they’d let it bury them or discourage them. That’s why some guys quit. They just don’t want to deal with it anymore."But it just makes him battle that much harder and get that much stronger."With the combine coming and going without him this weekend, Smith is putting the full brunt of his preparation into dazzling scouts at his pro day in Laramie on March 13. Currently, Smith is training alongside Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles and Washington quarterback Keith Price at EXOS in Carlsbad, Calif.He lifts weights and runs through speed workouts twice a day, studies film of pro concepts as well as NFL defenses, and sharpens his footwork and throwing technique with Chicago Bears quarterback Jordan Palmer.While some have pondered whether his draft stock is slipping, Smith has done nothing but improve. And his resolve hasn’t wavered, either.
