Reacting to Steve Smith’s BOLD comments about Houston Texans rookie Tank Dell!?
What should Houston Texans fans expect from rookie WR Tank Dell? NFL Legend Steve Smith is gushing over the skill set that Dell possesses.
He sees big things from the rookie playmaker from UH, and believes his smaller stature won't preclude him from making a big impact on the offense.
Smith sees Dell being able to line up in the slot, outside, and even in the backfield. He'll be a player that the defense has to be aware of at all times.
Steve was also very impressed with Dell's route running and ability to set up defenders.
