I think a Cowboys trainer said Smith would be full tilt next year. I was surprised to see the speed at near 100% last year. His issues were mental IMO and I also think much of that will get knocked down for 2018. The intensity and motor are all there, he just needs reps and proper deployment.

I still think because of what would be a fearsome combination of size and speed in the secondary, Smith should try some downs at SS in camp. Not saying it will definitely work, only that he could be a monster there if it did. Otherwise I'd try an LT role and look at that. Taylor was allowed to roam the box & choose his spot to attack the backfield from. Pretty hard on an OL when the LB has that kind of speed. You have to shift around the double-teams to wherever he goes.
