Stud: Za’Darius Smith

After a slow start to the season for Za’Darius Smith that saw him only record two sacks in the first three games and not getting after the quarterback as we saw during his first year in Green Bay, Smith had a dominant performance against Atlanta on Monday.

It wasn’t just the sacks–he recorded three in the game–but it was the overall domination. Even when he wasn’t bringing down the quarterback he always seemed to be around him and making him uncomfortable. He was constantly beating his man in one-on-one situations and displayed the combination of power and speed that makes him so dangerous. Hopefully, this version is here to stay once they return from their bye week.
