In the 2005 NFL Draft, Alex Smith was indeed the number one pick, but this wasn't solely due to Urban Meyer. Yes, Meyer was his coach at the University of Utah and helped shape Smith into an exceptional player. However, Smith's individual talent, hard work, and dedication were also key aspects of his high draft pick. While Meyer certainly played a significant role in Smith's development, it would be an oversimplification to credit him alone for Smith's number one draft status. The journey to being a top draft pick is a collective effort of the player, the coach, and the circumstances.
