That sounds like Rod Smith.

Well, he wasn't wrong. Normally, an undrafted FA rookie has "slim to none" chance of making the team. Nobody else in the NFL was interested much in him. But, the Broncos scouted him and thought he was worth a shot, especially after they released CJ Anderson.

Well, now he's proving himself a star RB in the NFL and there are a lot of scouts with "some splainin' to do."
