Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said QB Rusty Smith may not have the ability to be a starter in the NFL but he can certainly become a very good backup quarterback. 'He's still got all the tools. I think he's a young man that has a chance to play in the league for a number of years. He might not be a starter, but he could be a pretty darn good backup for a while. He's got all the things you look for: the strong arm, the good size and he's got a good touch, a quick release,' Reinfeldt said.
