Unfortunately, former Texas A&M wide receiver Ainias Smith will not be able to participate in the drills at the combine due to a stress fracture in his left shin, which was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport on Saturday morning.
It’s been an up-and-down period after the end of the Aggies 2023 football season where Smith was not medically cleared to play in the bowl game against Oklahoma State, However, he did return to action in the Reese’s Senior Bowl making a good impression in the scouts in attendance.
Smith learned the news during the medical evaluations and will contact a specialist in the upcoming week. He’ll finish out his time in Indianapolis with any remaining meetings and complete his measurements. The news no doubt might affect his draft position, but if his second opinion goes well, he will still have another chance when Texas A&M holds its Pro Day.
Smith has most certainly had a few tough breaks over the past few years, however Sub-Zer0 can never be counted out. He’s shown the ability to bounce back and no matter where he needs up in the NFL them team will be getting a steal.
