Wow! Where was this Justin Smith when he played for the Bengals.
excerpt~
Agility 8.5
Smith doesn't have great speed, but he's a fantastic athlete with good burst and crazy strength.
Bull Rush 10
Strong enough to generate pressure by driving his man back off the ball, creating a more shallow pocket.
Speed Rush 7.5
Smith isn't asked to jump out in space much, but he does have enough burst to take the edge and close on the quarterback.
Run Defense 9
Smith does an excellent job anchoring the edge. He's strong enough to drive blockers back off the line of scrimmage.
Speed/Burst 10
While Smith doesn't have track-star speed, his burst more than makes up for it. His short-area quickness is elite.
Strength 10
Strong enough to drive the strongest, biggest tackles back on to their heels.
Pass Deflect 8
Does a good job staying in passing lanes and getting his hands up when the ball is thrown.
Read & React 10
Smith's best characteristic, he excels at finding the ball and then doing whatever necessary to shut it down.
Tackle 10
The man simply doesn't miss tackles—well, to be fair he missed one. All year.
Health 10
Didn't miss any games in 2011.
Overall 93
The NFL's best all-around defensive end just might be the best defensive player in the NFL. Justin Smith has become the prototypical 3-4 defensive end, playing with speed and power off the edge. Smith is able to shut down the run, pressure the backfield, and create sack opportunities for himself and his teammates.
