There is no debate that Harrison Smith is an impact player. When he isn’t on the field for the Minnesota Vikings, there is a noticeable change in the way opposing offenses play and the amount of different things the secondary can do.
While fans have definitely noticed this, the NFL and its experts have caught on as well. Last year, NFL.com revealed that Smith was the #73 player on their Top 100 Players of 2016, and this year he returned to the list.
On the official website of the NFL, it was revealed that Harrison Smith earned the #74 spot on this year’s countdown, sliding one spot but still remaining as one of the most respected players in the league.
