Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2009 Version

Here's a good write up on Andre Smith's decision
--NFL FanHouse
I tend to agree with this conclusion:
Quote:
While on the surface this might seem like another low-point in Smith's not-yet-pro career, it might actually represent the opposite. Throughout his fall, many NFL insiders questioned the advice he was given (remember, these prospects are barely adults and swimming in an overwhelming sea of people attempting to exploit them; they very much need well-intended advisors), and by firing Keels, Smith might have finally shown a semblance of sensibility in this process. It's possible teams look at his decision to switch agents and see a player who is finally looking to build positive momentum by recognizing the err of his past ways, someone who is taking responsibility for his fate.
It also says he is hiring Darren McFadden's agent. Seems like a good move for him. I am still hoping he or Oher fall to us, and that we take them if one of them does.

Good for Smith. I still feel this kid got bad advice that led to the fiasco at the combine. I'm sure a lot of ppl want to get their hands on any money he's going to earn. I hope this means a turn for the better for his career.
