[AUcane]

From what I've read, his kid brother is the real deal.

 

[Lil Bryant 305]

Sry if i missed this but who's his uncle?

Lito Sheppard

For those that get a chance to see these kids live, how would you compare Smith and Carter? They're roughly the same size, 6'2' 200, big hitters, played some WR. What do you see in their games that makes so many people think Smith ends up at LB, but Carter will remain at S. The types of plays in their highlights seems to indicate the opposite, Smith's shows a lot of plays on the ball and range as a FS while Carter's seem to be closer to the line of scrimmage. I'm expecting Smith to be 2nd team behind Redwine and Carter 2nd team behind Johnson. But that's just my far from expert viewing of highlights.

Smith seems like a more complete safety in regards to his ability to make plays when the ball in the air and his ability to hit. Both are physical as **** though

 

[CANESRUSX5]

cool is he good enough to get playing time cuz after the 2018 studs come can he compete with jobe etc?

He could very well grow into a linebacker. The important thing is that I believe he can impact the team this upcoming season and that is big.

Pete, not only do I see him just busting returners asses on ST's but come the middle of the season, this kat is gonna knock WR's out if they dare to come across the middle. Amari will be ahead of him because of the work he's already gotten but if Smith can put this scheme together fairly quick, this group is gonna shut the middle down. Our middle will once again be feared like the ST-Al. SR Days & Smith is gonna be a big part of it too.

Amari Carter is a better overall Safety, he's faster, a better tackler & more devastating hitter, he has better instincts & his best quality above all is his intelligence... He's got a high football IQ.

He diagnoses like a veteran even though he's still very young & a TF. People sleep on his instincts but he's pure hunter, he gets to the ball no matter what.

D Smith might have better Ball skills, but he's a step or two slower & isn't reading the field at the same level as Amari.

I like Derrick Smith a lot & think he'll be able to contribute on Special Teams from day 1, but Amari Carter is a future All-ACC team player (maybe 2nd or 3rd team, but he's a baller is the point).

Amari plays the game at an impactful level, he's a kid who as soon as he gets on the field he's immediately making plays.

Smith will be good but still needs some development, Amari is ready for starter snaps right now, that's the difference between the two.

 

[Zbrod95]

FYI his Uncle is Lito Sheppard apparently, 2x Pro bowler and one of the better corners in the last decade

 

[Zbrod95]

He is a destroyer and has good hands and range.... I would keep him at safety regardless of who comes in 2018.

You're growing on me dog. Your porsts are slowly turning into posts

I definitely do not think carter is faster than Derrick smith. Doesn't look like it on film

 

[gogeta4]

I was sold on him as soon as I saw the shirtless pic during an in home visit

that's when he sold me

Lol Reggie Bush says hello

Lol Reggie Bush was a KR in the pro bowl and Lito made it as CB and would've made two more he wasn't so injury prone.

Maybe you should do more research before opening your mouth. You seem to porst alot

Smith ran a 4.7 & Amari is a 4.5-4.6 guy...

Obviously, you didn't see Amari play in the Spring game or have never seen him play live either.

 

[JgDaCane]

Saftey all the way. So what if Jobe etc. coming in. Let them battle for starting spots. That's what we are built on.

 

[FIUMCane]

No amount of stars can measure the dog in this kid. I don't give a **** whose coming in next year..kid will cause havoc in 2017 when ever he gets on the field. The higher rated kids in 18 better be ready to compete and prove themselves cause Smith is a true savage. Yes! The shirtless in home visit pic should have told you that already.

Did I say I saw him play live? And 2 I'm really high on amari carter but let's be real he ain't that fast. He does have good closing speed

No one's arguing that Amari is a 4.3 speedster, I said he's faster than D Smith, because he is by every metric.
The reason why you don't know that is because you've never seen them play before, that's the point.
