Wow. Get your sh*t together Andre. Millions of dollars and a career are at stake here buddy. This is a big red flag for him IMO. At one point he was being talked about as the #1 overall pick. If he can't pull it together long enough to put his best foot forward for the combine... If I were a GM, I would be pretty concerned about using a high pick on him. Plenty of guys who end up being busts work hard as hell to put up the necessary front(s) to come off as a solid draft pick. This guy can't even pretend to care.

Remember he was also suspended for Bama's BCS game vs. Utah.

EDIT: Apparently Mike Mayock of NFL Network agrees- Per PFT:

Smith, who isn’t working out at the combine because he’s admittedly not in shape, just got ripped big-time by NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock.
“I’m dropping him down on my list,” Mayock said. “You don’t show up in shape for the biggest job interview of your life. You don’t lift. You don’t run. You don’t show up. It’s the worst thing you can do. How can you not show up in shape for this?”
