ZURIEL SMITH

Position: WR Class: Sr School: Hampton Conference: MEAC Ht., Wt.: 5'11, 170 40 Time: 4.51 Grade: 2.88 Selected by Dallas Cowboys Round 6, pick 13 (186 overall)

BIO: Four-year starter who also competes on the school's track team as a sprinter. AFCA All-American as a senior catching 52-761-6 in 10 games and averaging 18.1 yards on 26 punt returns with one score. Junior totals were 58-732-6 as a receiver with a 17.7 average on 29 punt returns with four resulting in scores. Totaled 47-816-5 as a sophomore. POSITIVES: Quick, elusive ball handler who breaks the long one catching the pass or returning punts. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, solid route runner and effectively uses his body to shield away opponents. Adjusts well to the errant throw and gets down to scoop up the low pass. Productive running after the catch showing quick footwork and a burst of speed. Runs well in an open field. NEGATIVES: Tall and thin, not strong and has difficulty getting off jams at the line of scrimmage. Not a physical receiver, does more body catching rather than plucking the ball away from his frame and does not possess the strong hands. More quick than fast. ANALYSIS: Does not look the part nor does he time well for the stop watch but his return abilities make him an intriguing prospect and could find him a spot on a final roster. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
