Perhaps you might have noticed former Maryland wide receiver (and two-time Super Bowl champion) Torrey Smith recently campaigning for Alabama offensive coordinator (and former Maryland offensive coordinator and interim head coach) Mike Locksley to become Maryland's next head football coach.
When you saw it, you might have said something to yourself like, "Well, that makes sense. Of course one of Locksley's former players would step up to the plate for his coach."
The thing is, that's not actually what he was doing. Smith's career at Maryland was from 2007-2010. Locksley's stints at Maryland were from 1997-2002 and 2012-2015. Smith and Locksley actually never crossed paths in College Park, Md. The Carolina Panthers wideout says that doesn't remotely change the reverence he feels for the coach.
