For the seventh time in his career, Vikings safety Harrison Smith is on the NFL’s top 100 players list. Every year, NFL players vote on the best players in the league, and the top 100 is revealed.
Entering his 12th season in the NFL, Smith is ranked as the No. 93 player.
Smith posted 93 combined tackles and a career-best six QB hits in 2023. He also finished with three sacks, which all took place in Week 4 win over the Panthers. With six Pro Bowls and an All-Pro honor under his belt, the 35-year-old has cemented himself as one of the best safeties in the league and remains so as he enters his 13th season with the Vikings.
Smith’s NFL journey is more than likely coming to a close within the next couple of seasons, but he is still one of the more dominant safeties in football. The Vikings have a couple of other safeties to help take the load off of Smith, such as Cam Bynum and Josh Metellus, but when you think about the Minnesota defense, you usually think of Hitman.
Smith was ranked for five straight seasons in the NFL top 100 (2016-2020) and then found his way back on the list last season.
