Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith returns to Columbus for his third season this fall. In doing so, the anticipation for where he may end up in the NFL Draft next spring is beginning to reach unfathomable anticipation levels.
That's at least according to NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay, who has spoken highly of Smith's potential in Columbus since his on-campus arrival a little over two years ago.
McShay went as far as to say his game reminds him of legendary ex-Detroit Lions wideout Calvin Johnson, taking his stance a step forward to go beyond his potential to be a top-5 pick (or No. 1).
"I literally think he can be the best wide receiver of all time," McShay about Smith. "He could be the best wide receiver in the history of the National Football League. I want you to think about that. I’m fired up and now he has a quarterback in his second year.”
