NFL draft profile scouting report for Texas A&M running back, Ainias Smith

Pros:
Lamattina: Smith was utilized in many different ways for Texas A&M in 2020. He split time in the backfield as a running back and also as a slot receiver. He is very sudden and explosive in his route running. One cut runner out of the backfield, explosive with his feet and how he hits gaps. Extremely quick and fast all over the field which makes him a solid overall playmaker. Firm hands as a receiver and rarely drops the ball. Very well developed route tree that suits his athletic profile. Good separator in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Shows a lot of effort as a blocker.
 COVID-19 has given Stafford native Mike Augias the fight of his life, but the 51-year-old appears to be beating the odds and making progress on the long road to recovery.Â
Augiasâ sister said he tested positive for COVID-19 after July 4 of last year, and he nearly died from a series of complications that resulted from contracting the coronavirus, including Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare but reversible form of paralysis in which the bodyâs immune system begins attacking the nerves. Â
He has been unable to work for 10 months, and his family isnât sure when heâll be able to return. But his sister, Kathy Hayes, who has helped manage her brotherâs financial affairs from her home in California, said he stood up on his own for the first time last Thursday. She looks forward to him taking his first steps on his own someday.Â
