Irv Smith Jr. was determined to be a wide receiver in high school. Never mind that he’s the son and nephew of former NFL tight ends and is built for that position, too. He caved to the reality his junior year at Brother Martin High School in New Orleans and moved to the family’s favored position fulltime. Now, he has become a dangerous option for the Crimson Tide as both a pass catcher and blocker heading into Monday night’s national championship game against Clemson in Santa Clara, California.(AP Photo/John Bazemore, File)
