During the offseason linebacker Nolan Smith said that he would be playing on a “no name defense” because of all the players taken in the 2022 NFL Draft. Since then I’d say we’ve seen it to be true. No one guy has really stood out leaps and bounds beyond the rest like a Jordan Davis or Nakobe Dean did last year.
This year, we’ve seen the offense take a similar approach: no one guy is carrying all the workload on that side of the ball either.
Standout tight end Brock Bowers has even taken a small step back this year.
