Defensive Rookie of the Year Candidates
Roquan Smith, LB, Chicago Bears
With their eighth overall pick, the Chicago Bears picked Georgia Tech's instinctive linebacker, Roquan Smith. Known for his incredible burst and speedy blitz, Roquan sent offensive linesmen in a tizzy during his impressive college run. Rated highly for his defensive IQ and knowledge of the game, his leadership skills found unanimous approval among coaches. With a 4.51 second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, his athleticism is elite. Not one to be fooled easily, Smith looks set to become the face of the Bears' ascending defense and the ROY honors this year.
