Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish star safety [autotag]Harrison Smith[/autotag] has had an amazing NFL career.
Drafted in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, the Georgia native who played high school football in Tennessee, has spent his whole career with the Minnesota Vikings and has put up some impressive stats. Smith has been selected to the Pro Bowl six-times, making the All-Pro first-team in 2017 and the second-team in 2018.
He’s been a play-maker his entire career, and on Sunday morning in London, England, Smith entered elite NFL territory. With his twentieth career sack, this one taking down future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, he joined just six other players who have 30 career interceptions and 20 career sacks.
While this stat line is impressive, it almost guarantees that Harrison will eventually be enshrined into the Hall of Fame. Five of the six other players who have achieved these numbers have their molds in Canton, Ohio.
Hopefully, Harrison has done enough to earn that status.
