Justin Smith brings veteran-style edge play for Missouri
Justin Smith is best known as a powerful, high-motor **defensive end** whose game was built on relentless effort, play strength, and production—at Missouri, he developed into an NFL-caliber lineman and later logged 87.0 career sacks and 880 tackles over 14 pro seasons, which speaks to his durability and impact[2][18]. He stood out less for flash than for consistency and toughness, making him the kind of player who can anchor a front with physicality and discipline rather than highlight-reel chaos[10][14][18]. If you want a hard-nosed edge defender who fits a blue-collar scheme, he’s a strong fit.[14][18]
