Weymouth Native Has Eyes on NFL Draft

WEYMOUTH, MA — A former Weymouth Wildcat is hoping to hear his name called at next month's NFL Draft.

UMass graduate Khary Bailey-Smith now has his eyes set on the NFL. He recently took part in the league's Washington Regional Combine, where he turned heads with his impressive performance.

"Bailey-Smith is agile, strong and moves gracefully. The once high school wide receiver made the transition effortless. After Bailey-Smith’s trials at the RC, the league should have woke up to his talent and hearing his name called during the 2017 NFL Draft should be a given," Barry Barnes of Locker-Report wrote.

Bailey-Smith received all-scholastic honors from the Boston Globe, Boston Herald and Patriot Ledger while at Weymouth High School. As UMass, he was used as a cornerback and punt returner.
