What If? Jeremiah Smith was Drafted in 2024

Jeremiah Smith, one of the best wide receivers in College Football. The Buckeyes’ nineteen year old, has been on fire this year. He has seventy six receptions for 1,319 yards and fifteen touchdowns. He averages 17.3 yards per catch. Even though it’s impossible for Smith to be drafted this year, what if those rules never existed? What if Smith joined the NFL before he joined the Buckeyes’? “What If” is the real question. So, what if? Jeremiah Smith is drafted 33rd overall to the Buffalo Bills instead of Keon Coleman. His 4.52 40 yard dash is a concern, but at the age of 19, he will improve. Speculation drowns the air as the draft is announced. “Why him? Why not Keon Coleman?” Only the Bills front office knows why. On his first day in Buffalo, he and Khalil Shakir became a lethal wide receiver duo. He makes an immediate impact, gaining 67 yards, and catching one in the endzone to help the Bills beat the Cardinals 45-28. As the season draws to a close, Jeremiah Smith is one of the best wide receivers that season, becoming a deadly duo with Josh Allen. He guides his team to the postseason #1 seed. Bills finish 14-3, giving them the number one seed. Kansas also finished 14-3, but due to the head-to-head game (Buffalo won 24-10) Kansas got the second seed. The Texans approached the Bills next, and still lost, Jeremiah Smith was the MVP of that game. Lamar throws to Mark Andrews for a game winning touchdown, beating the Chiefs 27-24. Buffalo will face Lamar and the Ravens in the AFC Championship. Back and forth the game goes, 0-7, 7-7. In the fourth quarter, Smith already has 104 yards, the Bills have one shot to blow the Ravens out of the competition. The clock ticks down, 0:45, 0:38, the ball is snapped. Smith runs a Square In, Allen lets it fly twenty yards. 0:29. CAUGHT! SMITH CATCHES THE BALL. In stride, Jeremiah Smith runs down the field, 40,30,20,10, TOUCHDOWN! 41-36 BILLS.
