“I've seen a lot of great receivers,” Geno said. “And I've had the chance to watch a lot of JJ since he was about 10 years old. He's gonna be the best receiver ever. I really believe that.”
Also, Jeremiah got a ringing endorsement from former NFL star receiver Cris Carter, according to cbssports.com.
“He’s the best player in the country,” Carter said. “He has an unbelievable work ethic. (And) he’s humble as can be and you can see that. He’s one of the first in the building at Ohio State. (And) he’s one of the last to leave. (Also), he has a professional mentality a lot like some of the other great receivers that we saw at a young age: Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, and Calvin Johnson. All those guys were unique in their own way and so is (Smith).”
