PositiveBreakoutJul 31, 2026Silver And Black Pride

Dylan Stewart says Anthony Smith will fly up boards and is an impressive player who broke out in 2025 with 17.5 TFLs and shown improvements as a pass rusher over time. Smith has awesome length, good first step, and ability to play in 2, 3, 4-point stances. He fires off the ball, drives upfield, and has good hip/ankle flexibility with decent bend. Smith converts second-step speed to power, shows great strength across his full body, and demonstrates speed-to-power, athleticism, and versatility to thrive in any modern NFL defense despite being raw.
