Veteran linebacker Daryl Smith visits Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hosting linebacker Daryl Smith for a visit, according to Adam Schefter. The 34-year-old veteran played four years under Buccaneers defensive coordinator Mike Smith when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. They drafted him in the second round of the 2004 NFL draft.

Daryl Smith had a long and very productive career with the Jaguars, playing there for nine years before moving to the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, where he's started very game over the past three years. Smith has a ridiculous 172 career NFL starts, and has to be one of the best linebackers in the history of the NFL to never make a Pro Bowl.
