  • Georgia junior LB Roquan Smith thrived with an increased role last season, posting the No. 1 ranked overall grade (87.4) among returning SEC linebackers.
  • Fueling his top overall grade, Smith’s 86.0 run defense grade also ranked No. 1 and his 84.7 coverage grade ranked No. 3 among that same group of linebackers.
  • A Georgia native, Smith totaled 26 run stops on 292 run snaps to earn the No. 4 ranked run stop percentage among returning SEC linebackers with at least 200 snaps against the run last season.
  • Smith allowed just 0.40 yards per coverage snap last season, ranking No. 15 in the 2018 NFL draft class.
