SMU football has had quite the storied history. The program has had many moments of pride during the early to mid 80s. But has also seen awful moments where the death penalty was handed down to them in the latter part of the 80s. Throughout this programs 102 year football history, Courtland Sutton was the best receiver they have ever had. Today, Sutton was honored through his hard work and perseverance as the Denver Broncos drafted him with the 40th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Sutton was able to accomplish his dream of becoming a pro-football player through the skill sets that made him into the great receiver he is: patience and practice.
