Bleacher Report goes through every NFL team looking for a surprise starter. Who did they choose for Dallas?
Aldon Smith was well on his way to becoming one of the NFL’s greatest pass-rushers after registering 33.5 sacks through his first two seasons. But he has been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence and has faced domestic violence and weapons charges as well, and he hasn’t played since 2015. It’s easy to forget how good Smith was. The 2011 seventh overall pick previously ranked top-five all-time in sacks per game, per NFL GameDay. The NFL conditionally reinstated the 30-year-old in May.
