Jay Feely who previously served as a NFL placekicker and ran for congress in Arizona supports Stephen A. Smith to be the next president in 2028 because of his communication abilities and genuine approach.

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith has recently received an out-of-the-blue endorsement from former NFL player Jay Feely who is now running for the Arizona congressional seat. The NewsNation’s The Hill show featured Feely discussing his positive view of Smith’s public speaking abilities where he highlighted that Smith makes effective gut-value emotional relationships with audiences.

The campaign leader Jay Feely recently chose to run for Arizona’s 5th District congressional seat while urging voters to choose candidates outside traditional politics. The political differences between Feely and Smith did not diminish his recognition of Smith's genuine communication abilities. Feely stated his enthusiasm for facing Stephen A. Smith in a direct political discussion while sitting across from him on a debate set-up.

The Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals both employed Feely as player before his move into media positions to become a sports analyst after retirement. The assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a rally motivated him to start a political career.

Feely is directing his campaign to serve beyond personal gains because he dedicated his athlete career to helping others through his popularity. Feely promotes both leadership qualities and effective communication when he supports Trump's policies. His backing of Smith demonstrates his wider political perspective which places authenticity and revolutionary thinking above strict partisan boundaries.

His sports background combined with his political expertise enables Feely to maintain a status-shifting career in these domains.
