 Wow, yeah, swear to God I'm with it. I don't see nobody in my lane It's quite go get it like me. Alright you guys, welcome back to another video. No, that's not how we do it. Alright you guys, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. In today's video we're going to be looking at number 61 on the top 100 NFL's greatest players of 2019 list. His name's Jalen Smith, he's a middle linebacker which means, well it means he's basically trying to be the next Ray Lewis, I assume. He's the captain of the defense in the middle. He's going to be talking to his defensive lineman. He's going to be talking to his two outside linebackers. He might be talking to his fellow middle linebacker if they're doing a 3-4 defense. And just he's in the middle guys. He's going to be talking to his safeties, his corners, everyone. He knows what's up. And with that being said, let's get into it. Jalen Smith is a tough player, playing two times a year. Oh see Barclay, Barclay's going to get the ball. He's going to get through. And he's going to get smashed by the middle linebacker, isn't he? Can you imagine what he's thinking? Sitting there as a middle linebacker, just waiting, waiting, waiting, seeing that player, seeing that running back, come up, come up, come up, and just, it's at those times when hurdles work a charm. Because that defender is waiting, waiting, waiting, he's going to put all his effort into it. And you know, all you need to do is get over that first shoulder and you've cleared him. He's done it. In fact, it's quite funny looking at defenders who do get hurtled because they're thinking that they're ready to take a massive contact and next minute it just goes straight over their head. So it's quite funny to watch really. He's always a tough match up to it. Well, as a middle linebacker, let's see your speed and your size. Six foot two, 115 kgs. When in the second round of 2016 draft, he's been at the Cowboys the whole time, he was the PFF's breakout player of the year last year. He played three years at college for three different colleges. Oh, no, sorry. This is freshman, sophomore and junior with the Notre Dame fighting Irish. 2018, 16 games played, 16 games started, 121 total tackles with 82 solo, four sacks, two pass deflections, two force fumbles, one fumble recovery and one touchdown. One touchdown, really? Let's get into it. What was it? What was the injury? A knee? Don't tell me he did his ACL or MCL. Oh, look at that. During the Fiesta Bowl game against Ohio State, Smith suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and left the game. It was confirmed that the knee was diagnosed with tears to the ACL and LCL. He underwent successful knee surgery on both ligaments on January 7th, 2016. On January 11th, he announced he would forego his remaining eligibility, his remaining year, and enter the 2016 NFL Draft after three years in college and with a knee injury. Smith entered the scouting combine in Indianapolis but was only able to meet with teams due to his injury. On April 14th, 2016, he was one of multiple prospects to undergo extensive medical evaluations. As multiple teams were worried about the possibility of nerve damage due to his knee, he received tests to objectively measure his nerve function. He attended a pre-draft visit with the 49ers at the conclusion of the pre-draft process. Experts and scouts projected Smith to be selected as early as the second round to as late as the sixth round. He was ranked the 10th best outside linebacker prospect by draftscout.com and was ranked the 11th best linebacker by NFL analyst Mike Maycock. Wow, that was a tongue twister. Alright, come back from injury. After missing his rookie season, he played every game in 2017 but lacked his previous explosiveness. In 2018, Smith's game lacked nothing. He got 100 and something tackles. Good speed. Good cover. Oh, that's amazing. That's an amazing play. That's just, oh, look at him go. Fuck, he reminds me of DK Metcalf, just powering down the field. I love that. That's awesome. Oh! Peterson can beat him. Nice hit. So someone already must have been on the running back, just in case. So if that running back gets the ball, 38's coming across and number 80 is following through to get him. That's exactly what's happening. But he doesn't get the ball. Wentz keeps it and 54 stays on him. Oh, nearly got past him, though. Fuck, he's just everywhere on defense, isn't he? He's running, alright? That's gotta be the highlight for the year. See, man? All that shit on the field. It's all completely forgotten when it's done and that is the way that professional sport and a great sport like football and rugby should be played. And with that being said, we've got Larry Fitzgerald next. Do we need to say more? The Cardinals, do I have a... I don't, I always get confused between the redskins and the Cardinals. Just for the hell of it, we're gonna put my redskins top on and I'll see you back here shortly to watch Larry Fitzgerald. We're nearly halfway through. It's easy! See you soon, guys.
