Indianapolis Colts' scout on what makes draft pick Tim Smith 'unique'

With one of their two sixth-round draft picks, the Indianapolis Colts selected Alabama defensive tackle Tim Smith. So what was it about Smith's game that made him "unique" and helped him stand out at that stage of the NFL draft?

“I think what’s unique about him is his ability to play blocks," said assistant director of college scouting Jamie Moore via the Indy Star. "It’s something that (defensive coordinator) Lou (Anarumo) talked about when he got here, explaining how this defense is going to operate up front."

Smith was a steady presence along the Alabama defensive front for the last four seasons.
