Jaylon Smith on his story: The defense doesn’t succeed without me, I’m a born leader. It’s innate.

One of the better problems that the Dallas Cowboys have had in recent memory is trying to figure out the balance between veteran linebacker Sean Lee and rookie phenom Leighton Vander Esch.

The good news is that the sport of football allows you to play multiple linebackers, but the Cowboys are rich beyond just The General and The Wolf Hunter. They have The Predator, The Godbacker, the story that was impossible not so long ago. They have Jaylon Smith.

It’s not a coincidence that the ascension of the Cowboys defense has coincided with Jaylon Smith’s return to who he was at Notre Dame.
