This one may be a little obvious because an argument can be made that Smith is already a rising star in the NFL. As one of the top young tackles in the league, Smith hasn’t quite gotten the national recognition he deserves after becoming the starter in 2018.

The third-year right tackle was drafted as a guard but was forced to the edge due to injuries along the line during his rookie campaign. Smith has been nothing but excellent on the right side, especially in the run game where he simply moves defenders off the ball.

There are some consistencies that need work as a pass protector, but Smith is on the verge of being a top right tackle in the NFL.
