Smith would’ve wanted a different outcome than his elder brother. Since Maurice went undrafted at the 2017 NFL Draft, but as fate would have it, his chances of being drafted are now slim. And an injury at the Combine.

A fate of many before the pro day

In 2017, Maurice wasn’t even invited to the NFL Combine. With Ainias’ high-flying form for the Texas A&M and invitation, things looked wonderful for the budding football star. But an injury at the Combine is nothing new, every year several players face injuries at the camp.

Last year, 5 athletes suffered injuries at the NFL Combine and their fates too looked bleak. However, four of them went on to be drafted by the top NFL teams and WR Jordan Addison was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round itself! So, all is not lost for the high-flying WR!

Do you think Ainias Smith will be drafted despite his injury? Let us know in the comments.
