And they've got plenty of you!***
Apparently at least one NFL scout isn't buying into the hype of the all-world, Heisman winning QB and iconic figure of redemption, Troy Smith.
One scout, the Cincinnati Bengals' Greg Seamon, was quoted on a Web site ridiculing Smith as an overhyped Heisman-winning quarterback who would flop in the NFL or not make it at all, joining a list that includes Terry Baker, John Huarte, Gary Beban, Pat Sullivan, Andre Ware, Gino Torretta, Danny Wuerffel, Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch and Jason White.
"Really, he's not that fast," Seamon said of Smith. "He gets run down by defensive ends. He's not real big. He kind of stares down his targets. You didn't see those breathtaking, thread-the-needle throws [against Florida] that you'd hope to see from a top-of-the-draft quarterback."
*** Like how I sort of spun that one around and made it my own? See what I did there?

Before the season, Brady Quinn was the leading Heisman candidate, until Mark May began trumping Smitty. After ND lost to Michigan, the drum roll for Smitty got louder, which I can understand, BUT, if BQ had Smitty’s Offensive Line, I think the results might have been different.
Why should the Heisman be based on W-L records, anyway.
BTW, on the yahoo site this morning, it is alleged that Reggie Bush & his family received a total of $280,000 in extra benefits from dear old USC.
