Telvin Smith is having a Pro Bowl season. Being on a 2-9 team will likely hurt his chances of getting there, but he’s fifth overall in total tackles this season (72) and he has shown no signs of slowing down. This is just standard for the stud linebacker.
In his three seasons with the Jaguars, Smith has seen the team grow from struggling youngsters to a more diverse, cohesive unit that can come close in games. They still aren’t winning, but they’re inching closer and closer.
Smith sees a team on the rise and a team that can contend.
