Smelter joins DeMaryus Thomas and Stephen Hill as Georgia Tech Wide Receivers who were drafted in the Paul Johnson era.
Here is the information about DeAndre Smelter:
Eric Decker
Like Eric Decker, Smelter is a former baseball player with outstanding hand-eye coordination. Both will have entered the draft with questions lingering about a season-ending injury (Lisfranc for Decker). Smelter is an uber-athlete with a background of excellence in every sport he has played. He plays well beyond his experience level at wide receiver. His toughness, natural instincts and football intelligence should earn him a spot on a depth chart, provided there are no lasting effects from his ACL tear.
