4. Chad Smith

Chad Smith gave himself an opportunity with his performance this season.

While Smith still has plenty of areas to improve upon, he has been all over the field this season and has the attention of many NFL scouts.

It’s not likely that he’ll test well at combine-type events, but Smith makes up for it with his physicality and football IQ.

He’s deceptively athletic and there’s certainly a chance that he could develop into a solid linebacker at the next level.
