My Take
Smith is exactly the kind of player I wish more casual fans appreciated. Safety is a thankless, cerebral position, and at 188 cm out of Notre Dame, taken 29th overall by Minnesota in 2012, he turned it into an art form. Pro Football Focus grading him the third-best player in the entire league in 2017 is the sort of accolade that never trends but tells you everything about how the people who study the tape feel. What draws me in is the intelligence of it; reading an offense and erasing the deep threat is quiet, unglamorous work, and I have always found that more impressive than the highlight reel.
