Preston Smith has been one heck of a move rusher within the NFL for fairly a while.
Since being drafted by the Washington Commanders within the second spherical of the 2015 NFL Draft, Smith has totaled 66 profession sacks and 151 quarterback hits — 41.5 and 92 of which have come up to now 5 seasons with the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
Smith is a veteran chief on Inexperienced Bay’s protection and although he would not have the “juice” he as soon as did as a pass-rusher, the 31-year-old continues to be a valued presence on the sting for the Packers.
He’ll apparently be much more valued in 2024 underneath new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, although.
The outdated DC, Joe Barry, was keen on utilizing Smith extra as an edge setter within the run recreation and he even at instances dropped him into the flats in zone protection (which drove Packers followers loopy).
Below Hafley, it feels like Smith goes to have the ability to get again to his pass-rushing roots.
