Smith logged 35 tackles (22 solo), including 9.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Smith (personal) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Very strong, aggressive and at times nasty in the trenches, he has enough size to play 3-4 defensive end (but could also play end in a 4-3 setup). He might even bulk up more and be able to line up inside. His versatility can also be used in coverage. Bigger, stronger O-linemen can blow him off the line on occasion, so he can sometimes struggle with leverage and pad level. Is a much better D-lineman than linebacker at this stage of his development.
Long Range Potential: Aggressive and versatile defensive end with upside.
