Antonio Smith

There were some pretty serious off-field issues surrounding Antonio Smith this past Summer, but with that all cleared up, his addition to the defensive front was truly just the rich getting richer.

Smith isn’t the pass rusher he was in his days with the Texans and Cardinals, but he has provided the Broncos with excellent rotational pressure and a guy who can effectively give players like Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson a breather whenever they need it.

At this point in his career, Smith is likely hoping to walk off into the sunset. If the Broncos win this game, it could very well be his last NFL season, free agent or otherwise.
