Za'Darius Smith explains why Detroit Lions were preferred trade destination.
defensive end Za'Darius Smith sent social media into a frenzy with his 'SMH' post in the early hours of Tuesday, the NFL's trade deadline.
“He used to be a problem on the Madden game. I’m really praying that he comes in and helps us a lot," Williams said. "I know he will, but I’m just praying that we turn the defense up just a whole other level even though it’s already up. But I know what he can do and the plays he can make. The wreckage he can create on the d-line to an offensive lineman, to a quarterback and things like that. So it’s big.
“Somebody who plays the run and pass," Reader told Lions OnSI. "Aggressive guy who’s played a lot of good ball and done amazing. Probably the king of the North, played for every time in the North just about. Great experience, great leadership. Brings everything you need.”joining a young group of defensive ends, he'll be able to provide a veteran presence while also being a productive addition.
“When I got the phone call and they told me I was coming here, I had that in the back of my mind that I’d get to come back to the North and basically play these guys again. All is well, man, I actually love those teams too," Smith said. "Cheeseheads, great fan base man, and going to the Vikings with the ‘Skol’ was big too. Now I’m in the right place, so you already know what time it is. I get to face them, what, twice now? It’s gonna be big, man.
