Former Tennessee WR Josh Smith’s career in Knoxville didn’t go according to plan, as injuries plagued him, especially leading into his senior season in 2018.
However, he’ll have a chance to make it in the NFL, as he landed a free-agent deal after going unchosen in the 2018 NFL Draft.
According to a report from Austin Price, Smith will attend the New Orleans Saints’ rookie minicamp:

Smith finished his Tennessee career with 63 catches for 764 yards and five touchdowns, and now he’ll try to land a spot with the Saints’ high-powered roster.
He’ll have an uphill battle to earn a roster spot, but if he’s healthy, it’s certainly not out of the question.
