He was drafted in the fifth round last year out of Ohio State and spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He played in one game this season and had a tackle on 14 special teams snaps.
In his time collegiately playing fort he Buckeyes, he played in 41 games, starting 17. He logged 55 tackles and seven sacks. As a senior in 2021, Smith started nine of 10 games played and had 26 tackles and three sacks.
He gives the Cardinals another outside linebacker to look at.
