One of the most athletic in a class of uber-athletic tight ends, Jonnu Smith would be a great choice to add some more ‘juice’ to the Broncos’ offensive firepower. After four productive seasons at FIU had nearly reached their conclusion, Smith’s senior season ended abruptly when his girlfriend doused him with boiling water during an argument.

A bizarre story, to be certain, but it didn’t hinder Smith from having a fantastic Scouting Combine where he checked in at nearly 250 pounds and ranked among the best at his position in athletic drills.
