Nolan Smith said he dreamed of playing for the Seahawks. Can he actually realize that dream?
Smith’s best attribute is his raw athleticism and speed off of the line. Smith is very quick to reduce the space between him and the tackle.Smith’s go to move is a swipe move which he pairs well with his athleticism. He often incorporates a jab step prior to reaching the tackle in an attempt to get them to open the one way. He then cuts the opposite way and swipes the lineman's hands often resulting in a blown block.
If he is going up against an offensive lineman who takes a wide step, he will quickly shoot inside and beat them to the spot nearly every time. Smith is a very good form tackler wrapping up ball carriers around the waist and being able to drag them down right at the spot.Smith does need to do a better job of converting his speed into power and driving through the offensive lineman.
In zone coverage he does not shuffle his feet smoothly as they get loud despite playing on his toes. Smith does take some false steps in zone which results in him being slower from spot to spot when established.
