My Take

Malcolm Smith's story is the one every late-round draftee dreams of. A seventh-round linebacker out of USC who ends up named Super Bowl XLVIII MVP against the Broncos, that is not luck, that is seizing the single biggest moment of your life. I find his arc more compelling than many first-overall picks, precisely because nobody handed him anything. Coming out of Woodland Hills, he had to scrap for every snap, and when the brightest spotlight in American sport finally found him, he delivered. To me he embodies the idea that opportunity favors those ready to detonate when it counts.
