"Christian Wade and Christian Scotland-Williamson, they’ve been a big encouragement to my journey so far and been positive role models showing that it’s possible to go from rugby to the NFL," said Smillie. On-loan midfielder Riley McGree's dipping volley was Birmingham's best effort of the opening 45 minutes while Coventry found their feet after the opening quarter of an hour. "We are ready to work together with EU Institutions to further advance our work in that respect." Smillie, who recorded the fourth-fastest 40-yard dash on the day with a time of 4.66, was invited to the Combine after garnering attention with workout videos and clips of his rugby tries on social media.
