At 6 foot 1 and 266 pounds Smith is built more like our Linebackers than our Defensive ends.
They either plan for him to be Linebacker depth or this may signal a new approach in getting shorter defensive ends that may be quicker with more ability to get low & bend around tackles on passing downs.
Not the typical 6 foot 5 plus tall and long guy we use as defensive ends.
This could be more of a Rey Maualuga roster depth replenishment move rather than a defensive end move based on his body type or a signal that they are willing to get shorter players at D-end for pass rush.
