2015 NFL Draft Profile: Derron Smith, S Fresno State

Fresno State safety Derron Smith could have some huge strike against him before teams even look at his tape.  His size is the first thing that will be an arguing point in draft war rooms during the 2015 NFL Draft, but sadly it should be some of the other parts of his game that should be much more talked about.

For example, his instincts are amazing.  He’s great at knowing both where the receiver is and where the ball is.  Because of this, he’s great at covering slot receivers and has the soft hands to make the play when the ball comes his way.
