Film Room: Sutton Smith’s Pass Rush Plan

With their first selection in the 6th round of the 2019 NFL draft the Pittsburgh Steelers selected a highly productive yet undersized collegiate player in Sutton Smith (#15). At just over six feet tall, 233 pounds he doesn’t fit the size profile of the NFL edge rusher but a look at past players from the Steelers and you’ll see they are willing to take a look at players of nontraditional stature

Based on his weight there aren’t a lot of edge players in Smith’s weight range who have had a lot of success on the edge.
