Video taking off 8.6x its usual first day

Does Jeremiah Smith belong among football's top five receivers?

Overtime SZN's interview clip draws a distinction between college greatness and NFL standing, then makes an even bigger claim.

Overtime SZN Story of October 29, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 258,013 views a day, 8.6 times a normal first day on this channel (30,106).

Is Jeremiah Smith a top 5 receiver in the world? 👀

"I gotta disagree. I gotta respect the guys in the league."

The player holding that line in Overtime SZN's new Short isn't dismissing Jeremiah Smith. He calls the Ohio State standout probably one of the best college receivers ever. But putting Smith among the world's best, ahead of established NFL players, is a different proposition.

The interviewer pushes further anyway: "Jeremiah Smith is the best college wide receiver that's ever played, that's ever played college football." A brief cut to Smith catching a pass for Ohio State supplies the football between the opinions.

That escalation gives the comment section two questions to work with: how Smith measures up to professionals, and where he belongs in college history. Viewers bring up Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Crabtree and Tavon Austin as reasons to revisit the archive before declaring an all-time best. Others point to the importance of a quarterback and an offensive scheme in determining what a receiver can show.

The Short has passed 150,000 views in ten hours, already well beyond Overtime SZN's usual full-day Shorts audience. Its comments have also exceeded the channel's normal first-day total several times over. The discussion isn't just about whether Smith is exceptional. It's about how much that word should count before the next level.

What viewers say

Go back and watch what Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Justin Blackmon, and Michael Crabtree (probably the most underrated college career ever) did in college and it doesn’t seem like Jeremiah Smith is clearly the best college receiver ever. He is undoubtedly great but saying he’s the best ever is highly debatable.

Big Ups to the guy on the right and the white shirt I totally agree with his opinion the guys in the league are much better but he is one of the best college receivers of all time

He got the potential to be the best but unless you go to a team with a good offensive scheme and qb you will never know who is actually the best always will be an opinion just like Lbj Jordan Kobe Montana Mahomes Brady
