Cover-3 match defense, utilizing long, physical corners to disrupt timing and reroute receivers at the line of scrimmage, while also being capable in press-man situations.
Year 1 impact starter as a boundary corner capable of immediately locking down one side of the field in a press-man dominant scheme, with a ceiling as an All-Pro shutdown corner.
Pure off-zone scheme that relies heavily on quick-twitch, undersized corners rather than physical play, as his size could be a liability when transitioning into breaks.
Smith's size and speed combination makes him an excellent fit for aggressive, man-heavy defenses that want to leverage his physicality against larger receivers.
Selected #27 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of Colorado.
