Brian Smith
School: Notre Dame
Position: OLB
Bio: Totaled 50/3.5/1 and an interception as a senior, with 71/5.5/1.5 in twelve starts as a junior.
Positive: Hardworking, disciplined college prospect with a physical nature to his game. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself, and displays solid awareness. Stays with assignments, flashes pass rush ability out of a three-point stance, and hustles around the field. Strong tackler and brings opponents down at the point of attack.
Negative: Poor playing speed and ineffective in pursuit of the action. Not quick pedaling in reverse. Lacks overall range. Poor size/speed numbers.
Analysis: Smith is a competitive prospect who make plays based on his awareness and hustle. He was a solid special teams player at Notre Dame, specifically on coverage units, which is what will earn him a spot in the NFL.
