The New England Patriots are busy inviting draft prospects for top-30 visits, and they have now set their sights on one of the best edge defenders in this year’s class. Georgia outside linebacker Nolan Smith will be in Foxborough on Thursday, per a report by KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.
Smith spent his entire four-year college career with the Bulldogs, and by his 2022 senior campaign had established himself as one of the most disruptive players in the country. A well-rounded prospect who offers an enticing blend of athletic foundation and developmental potential, he has shown his abilities both versus the pass and the run: he can set a stout edge and simultaneously also get after the quarterback.
