TRENTON, New Jersey -- All Kwaheem Smith needs, and wants, is a chance.
It’s something he’s never really gotten, not in high school when Trenton Catholic Academy dropped its football program just before his senior year, and not from pro scouts who basically ignored his efforts at Globe Junior College and then Lincoln University.
Yet his talent and athletic ability still give the Trenton native hope that one day he’ll get that elusive opportunity to play football with, and against, the best players in the world.
Now would be the time.
Smith just finished a brilliant season in the Continental Indoor Football League for the league champion and unbeaten Erie Explosion.
In his second season in the league, Smith, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound cornerback with a 40 time in the 4.4 range, intercepted eight passes, returned six for touchdowns, broke up another six passes, forced two fumbles and also brought a kickoff back for a touchdown.
