The NFL hasn’t always been easy for Jaguars defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot. He has had plenty of lows, especially during the first two years of his career. Now, heading into year four, he’s ready to make more of an impact, and simply do what it takes “put some W’s on the board.”
Drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Smoot didn’t exactly transition into the NFL as he, and all athletes making the jump, would have expected. Everyone expects to immediately come into the NFL and have double-digit sacks during his rookie season like Jaguars defensive end Josh Allen, Smoot told the media via virtual video conference on Tuesday.
