Former Marshall tight end Lee Smith is getting more recognition at the Senior Bowl:
From the Dallas Morning News: http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/01/tuesday-morning-at-the-senior.html
Lee Smith, a tight end from Marshall, is a powerful blocker. Smith ran over a series of linebackers in drills. According to Senior Bowl measurements, Smith is 6 feet 51/2 and 269 pounds.
From the National Football Post:

He’s not going to run real well and lacks the ability to consistently separate in man coverage, but Marshall tight end Lee Smith can really get after it in the run game. Smith was able to dominate at the point of attack today during run drills, pancaking Oregon LB Casey Matthews on one occasion and destroying Ohio State’s Ross Homan on the other. He has a solid first step, gets out of his stance quickly and doesn’t waste any motion unloading his strong punch into contact. Looks like a solid reserve-type tight end who will play for eight-plus years in the NFL.

Tight end Lee Smith of Marshall looked good on the field today. At just a fraction of an inch under 6-foot-6, Smith is a big, reliable target. He isn’t the fastest or most explosive guy out there, but he makes every catch with his hands. He got to showcase his talents even more with the constant checkdowns courtesy of Locker and Stanzi.
