Smith: NFL has no issue with UF receivers

If you're stressed out over what De'Joshua Johnson said after eliminating Florida from his list of suitors, you're losing precious moments in your life you'll never get back.
Seriously, don't be that person. As a colossal waste of time, this ranks right up there with the guy who takes notes at FSU's offensive staff meetings or the guy who designed Ron Zook's trophy room or the guy who worries that Mississippi State and Dan Mullen will have a little something-something for the Gators when they travel to Starkville next fall.
First, a little recap for everyone who hasn't read what Johnson told the Palm Beach Post's Ben Volin (yeah, both of you):
"I dropped Florida and West Virginia because of the spread offense. I don't want to play in the spread offense. I've seen how it affected receivers in the NFL draft. They have to teach them to play in a pro-style offense."
The questions are threefold. Is Johnson right about the plummeting draft stock of spread-offense receivers? Do they take longer to adjust to the NFL than receivers in a conventional offense? And will the perception of that deficiency kill Florida's recruiting at the position?
The answers are no, no proof and no. Let's take the issues in order.
