I think his job is really on the line. After OTA's and TC, we saw him get exposed because of his technique, he flashed here and there but to end with 4 sacks and around 25 tackles was frustrating. The most memorable thing he did was have childish outbursts. I have to wonder if there was some use of PED's since players are not as routinely tested for substances before Training Camp. The NFL has a large window in the off-season to use any drug you want really as long as you aren't in the Drug Program.

Even so my real concern with last year being both a rehab season and a rookie season, you hope to not see him get lost. Although Smoot was selected high, he isn't coming for his job just yet. I'd really like to see major technical improvement. I think he got exposed because he doesn't have the technical savvy to match the physical skills.

I have no expectations for him, I don't see him starting too many games but maybe he becomes somewhat of a poor man's Brandon Graham down the road.
