veteran Georgia Tech DB with versatility and nose-for-the-ball instincts
Demond Smith’s value is built on versatility, football IQ, and toughness: at Georgia Tech, he has played multiple roles in the secondary, including safety and nickel, and in the 2014 season he piled up 73 tackles, third on the team. He also has a track record of adapting quickly to new responsibilities, which is a big plus for a staff looking for a DB who can handle motion, coverage changes, and run support without blinking. The one caution is that his most visible production comes from earlier Georgia Tech years, so the key question is fit and current role more than raw box-score flash.
