Telvin Smith came into the 2014 NFL draft with the expectations to be picked as early as the second round but those expectations were thrown out the window when Smith failed a drug test at the NFL combine. However everything happens for a reason, and this caused the super athletic linebacker to fall all the way to the 5th round where the Jaguars selected him.
Telvin Smith is now entering his second season with the Jags and many experts consider him to be one of the steals of the 2014 draft, he proved why in his rookie season.
Smith started off his rookie season fairly slow, as he only registered 40 tackles through week 11 but the switch flipped for Smith in his final 6 games.
