veteran DB with ball skills and proven disruption upside
Dontrell Smith’s strongest calling card is takeaway disruption: in the 2019 season at Southeastern Louisiana, he played in 11 games, made three starts at cornerback, tied for the team lead with eight pass breakups, and added 26 tackles. That profile says “competitor” more than “box-score merchant” — a DB who can challenge throws, stay sticky in coverage, and help tilt drives with timely plays. For a team that wants experienced secondary depth with playmaking instincts, he looks like a useful fit and a sneaky-good fit for aggressive coverage concepts.
