Irv Smith didn’t have a stat line that anyone dreams about for their rookie debut. Zero catches on zero targets for zero yards. But a closer analysis of the coaches film from Sunday’s 28-12 win by the Minnesota Vikings over the Atlanta Falcons showed a number of things that bode well for Smith’s 2019 season.

That is a great breakdown, with plenty of details and use of video.

How great would it be if the coaches were saving him for this week and Irv just booms Green Bay for like 7/100/2?
