Maxx Crosby on @TheRushWithMaxx to Dion Dawkins on Braden Smith whom “nobody talks about”:
“I’ll give him props, Braden Smith. I’ve had battles with him for years. Doesn’t get a ton of recognition. He’s a big, mean, motherf***er, 6’7”, huge motherf***er. He doesn’t say a word. Blank. Like you’re talking to a f***ing wall. A guy like that, he’s one of those guys I’m like ‘this is gunna be a f***ing bloodbath, we’re gunna go to war.’ And we never say a f***ing word to each other. And we’re ponding, run, pass. I think he’s one of the best f***ing tackles in the league.”

“There’s some random guys that nobody talks about & you’re like that mf lowkey cold, Brayden Smith (Colts-Texans) doesn’t get Pro Bowls, 6’7 huge MF. We never say a f’ing word to eachother and we’re pounding bro”

Braden Smith was fighting his own mind last season, a war of obsession he believed was for his very soul.

So proud of Braden for wanting to speak about his experience with OCD this past year. After months and months of struggling and trying many different paths to getting better, he has found healing. Read more below:
