Marcus Smart’s time away from the Boston Celtics is perhaps serving a distinct goal than all of us thought.
While we had been below the impression Smart was rehabbing an injured indirect, it seems to be like his hiatus from basketball motion has been with the intention to put together for a profession change. After 5 seasons within the NBA, Smart has determined to take his skills to the National Football League.
Imagine that.
We surprise what place Smart would attempt to take up if he truly switched to soccer. Given his tenacity, peskiness and pace, Smart most likely may shine in a hybrid safety-linebacker position much like Patrick Chung with the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old doubtless would haven’t any downside staying on a receiver’s hip, and you understand he’d all the time be trying to lay an enormous hit on a operating again.
All issues thought-about, Smart positive could be enjoyable to observe on the gridiron.
