He plays disciplined football. He's a grinder, man. He'll do it. He'll take on double teams for 60 plays if you ask him to do it. And that's a thankless job, and it's hard, and it's nobody really sees that. You don't get any love. But he doesn't care. To him, that means more to him to know that he's keeping his linebacker free like that's his heaven. So, it's unselfish, and it's hard. It's a nasty job, and it's not for everybody.

Received 10 'IN' votes, up 5 from the previous week—the second-biggest jump of any Lions defender in this week's Bubble Watch; coach Dan Campbell praised his disciplined, unselfish play, noting that Smith will take on double teams for extended stretches and keep linebackers free, which Campbell views as a thankless but essential job.
