Expert Analysis
Brian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Smith is too big and physical for most players he faces – on both sides of the ball. On offense, he has a big frame but comes off the line of scrimmage with low hips. Once he gets engaged with a defender, the Vikings’ two-way player has the power to drive people three or four yards off the line of scrimmage. At the same time, he is agile enough to come off blocks and get to the second level. Smith has good feet for a player his size. This allows him to move well in space and when in pass protection. His power translates to the defensive side of the ball, where he often demands a double team.
