Justin Smith was a spectacular player who I believe had more tackles than any other DE in the league while he was with the Bengals. Some Bengals fans who thought sacks were the only stat that mattered tried to mock Smith's tackle numbers by claiming he "jumped on the pile 5 yards downfield" when that was not true at all. But NFL teams were smarter than that. they recognized that he was an elite player and that is why he got paid like an elite player in free agency.
