The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Sutton Smith in the sixth-round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Northern Illinois and while he’s certainly considered to be an undersized 3-4 outside linebacker at 6003, 233-pounds, his speed, agility and initial quickness certainly might ultimately help make up for that at the NFL level.
While Smith’s lack of ideal size is easily noticeable when you watch a large selection of his college tape, it’s easy to begin looking past his physical appearance when you see him consistently get to opposing college quarterbacks with relative ease. In short, Smith mostly was able to use his speed, agility and initial quickness to compile his 30 career college sacks.
