HOUSTON — Rookie wide receiver Devin Smith dropped a huge pass in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Texans, and it sounds like his coach is losing patience with him.
“Our rookies got to stop being rookies. They need to grow up,” coach Todd Bowles said when asked about Smith. “They get paid like everybody else and they’ve got to start acting like they’re not in college anymore.”
It looked like Smith might make a huge play when Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a deep ball his way and it hit his hands, but he dropped what would have been a 46-yard touchdown.
