Pre-practice special teams drills revolved around kick return work. One of the interesting aspects of the drill was the guys serving as the center piece of the wall in front of the returners. While Stephen Neal filled the spot, one he’s held in the past, Le Kevin Smith also took a couple reps Wednesday afternoon. That speaks volumes for Smith’s athletic ability as a defensive lineman. While he’s not quite the athletic freak that fellow defensive lineman Mike Wright is, Smith might have the athletic ability to carve out a special teams spot in addition to his potential backup line duties.
