The Green Bay Packers have by far the fewest players ages 30-plus on their offseason roster. Preston Smith is the only one, still going strong at 31.
“Besides y’all keep on reminding me I’m in my 30s, I don’t really think about it much,” Smith said at the end of minicamp, “but now that I’m talking to y’all, now I’m just starting to feel old. I wasn’t feeling old at first. I was thinking about it, but I wasn’t really thinking about it until y’all keep on reminding me.
Smith added another 1.5 sacks in the two playoff games. His 21 quarterback hits in the regular season tied for second-best of his career.“It’s always the goal of mine to make Year 10 and, now that I’m here, it’s always a goal to just keep on chopping,” Smith said.
Smith, who will turn 32 in Chicago when the Packers visit the Bears on Nov. 17, has 66 career sacks. On the official list, Smith and Ezra Johnson are tied for sixth in franchise history with 41.5 sacks. “Just taking care of the little things,” he said. “The recovery, making sure I take care of my body, I put the right things in my body and I make sure that I don’t do anything to jeopardize my health and I make sure I stay on top of my recovery process and taking care of my body so I don’t have to miss those games.
