Will Smith's Wife, Racquel, Accepts Miami MBA on Deceased Husband's Behalf

Less than a month after former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith was killed in a shooting that was apparently the result of road rage, his wife, Racquel, accepted a master's degree from the University of Miami (Florida) on his behalf.

The Saints' official Twitter account posted a photo of Racquel with Will's MBA on Thursday evening:
