Nolan Smith Sees Plenty Of Run With Starters
11 months agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie outside linebacker Nolan Smith, who fell to 30th overall in the first round of this year's NFL draft, has shown than he's a high-energy player during offseason practices. With some of the team's top edge rushers missing from offseason workouts, Smith got plenty of run with the first-team defense, with his quickness and motor standing out. It's clear that he will be in full suit of opposing ball-carriers until the whistle is blown. The 22-year-old has impressive speed and could end up being a steal towards the end of the first round. It will be interesting how his 240-pound frame holds up at the point of attack against bigger offensive lineman at the next level.
