Nebraska DE Justin Smith: disruptive edge presence with proven tackle-for-loss production
Justin Smith projects as a **high-motor, disruptive defensive end** who can make plays behind the line of scrimmage and hold up as a reliable run defender; at Nebraska, he finished a season with **45 tackles, 8 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks**, which shows more steady pressure than pure sack volume. His value is in effort, leverage and assignment discipline rather than flashy statistics, so he fits teams looking for a tough, physically engaged edge player who can set the tone and complement bigger pass-rush pieces.
