OK, if you were to list your top-five worst first round drafts of all-time, two players are for sure to be there; Akili Smith and David Klingler. Even so with Klingler, he was planted into an impossible situation. But Smith, I mean, what can you say about the fellow? First, he pouts after having his "rightful" role of starter downgraded to third-string apple juice fetcher. Then he was released. He worked out for the Packers and the Buccaneers, but no one bit. Heck, he was so shocked that people put so much emphasis on his disaster of an NFL career, that he wondered if racism had anything to do with it. "Um, no, Akili. You pretty much blew." Then, "Smith was out of football and selling real estate in his hometown of San Diego."
Akili finally found a home that fits his style -- you know, big big big field with big big end zones. Introducing Akili Smith, quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders.
