'Harry the Hitman' not 'Smith the Salesman'
The play at a high level by Harrison Smith isn’t a secret to Vikings fans familiar with the only player in the NFL with 11 interceptions and 5.0 sacks since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2012. Smith, however, hasn’t received as much national attention — yet — as some other safeties, writes Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports. Pelissero’s profile of the fourth-year pro this week gives insight to why he is known as “Harry the Hitman” instead of “Smith the Salesman.”
Pelissero writes:
Harrison Smith needs to come up with a catchy name for the Minnesota Vikings secondary or perhaps grow out his facial hair until it has a social media following.
