"Smith could be a contender to lead the NFL in tackles as a rookie. Just look at the NFL's leading tacklers from 2017. They're all three-down middle linebackers who never have to leave the field. That's Smith, who will slot in next to Danny Trevathan to form a speedy and physical duo."
"Smith isn't a 6-foot-4, 260-pound monster like Brian Urlacher, but he's built for today's NFL. At 6-foot, 237 pounds, he can beat blockers into the backfield in a hurry, and he can stick to tight ends and running backs in coverage. Smith has superstar potential, and the Bears' defense is ascending."
