Published: Feb. 26, 2018, 12:25 p.m.

UNC LB Andre Smith took time out of his preparation for the 2018 NFL Draft to talk with Connor Livesay. Fully in preparation for the NFL Combine, Smith fills us in on his thinking on his approach to the event. Which drills he excels in and more importantly why are discussed and Andre has the ability to make it all seem simple. The UNC LB is obviously in the moment as he shares keen insights about the game and what he will bring to the table on game day in the NFL. Connor walks him through the steps and focus it takes to prepare for this most unique offseason and even breaks out an impromptu combine team interview. Smith is more than ready for the question. "I sleep it. I eat it. Football is just everything I do." - Andre Smith LB The two discuss the progression of Andre's defensive skill set while zeroing in on what Smith believes is a key ability in the passing game. Smith is fully aware he will be tasked to cover blazing tight ends, shifty backs, and the occasional wideout and looks forward to that challenge. It's clear this young man will be a plus for a team both on and off the field. A plus player in all regards. Enjoy the interview. It's a fun one. Livesay keeps it real, puts things in perspective and gives you an "up close" picture of a "top NFL Draft Prospect" for 2018.
