The Audible: Notre Dame's Jaylon Smith looks like next Patrick Willis
Former NFL scout and current NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah joins Bruce Feldman on The Audible to discuss Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith, who Jeremiah compares to likely future Hall of Famer Patrick Willis.
When Jeremiah mentions the Notre Dame LB, he often gets a sarcastic response in return referring to "another Manti Te'o."
Te'o was a first-round pick, sure, but Jeremiah is quick to correct that reference. "No, no, no -- same helmet, same color uniform, same school, different players," he says. "Not even close."
High praise indeed for a player who's projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. To listen to the clip, click on the embedded player at the top. You can get every episode of The Audible delivered to you by subscribing on iTunes.
