Braden Smith is an NFL offensive lineman with the Houston Texans and Auburn University alum who brings a strong mix of pro-athlete credibility, family-friendly storytelling, and community-minded content. His Instagram shows authentic lifestyle moments around marriage, fatherhood, and personal causes like OCD awareness, making him a natural fit for brands that want reach, trust, and real engagement beyond the field.
With an insane 35 bench reps and other athletic tests in the 2018 NFL Combine, Braden showed he is one of the most athletic offensive lineman in the NFL. Braden is one of the most athletic big men you've ever seen! He was picked 37th overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2018 NFL Draft. Braden is a big outdoorsman, loving gardening, fishing and many other outside activities. Braden is always looking to be involved with charities: In doing his 35 bench reps at the NFL Combine, he raised over $3,000 for Autism Speaks. Great attitude and a hard working individual.

How do you measure influencer marketing ROI when half the numbers social media gives you are vanity metrics? It is the question brands ask us most, and it came up again when I joined Massimo Marinelli on the Berkida Ventures Podcast.
