More than a dozen current and former NFL players unamimously decided late Tuesday to keep DeMaurice Smith as the executive director of the NFL Players Association.
Dolphins long snapper John Denney was one of the select few — and he explained to the Miami Herald Thursday why he ultimately decided Smith deserves another term.
“‘De’ did a self review of his past, mixed with his experience,” Denney said. “He was here with us through the last lockout, so I think that experience is also key going forward. He's familiar with who he's working with, so he's going to be that much further along in the learning curve.
