The San Francisco 49ers pass rush features several talented options, but the team will be counting on Aldon Smith to return to the form that led to his dominant 2012 season. They might not expect 20 sacks from him, but the defense will be looking to him to help drive a strong pass rush.
There is no doubting Smith's raw natural talent. He did benefit from playing alongside Justin Smith, but he can be a dominant presence on his own. Of course, raw skills are meaningless if you can't stay on the field and focused.
