Colts’ Braden Smith named to PFF’s Team of the Week

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith was named to Pro Football Focus’ Team of the Week for his efforts during the Week 4 loss against the Los Angeles Rams.

Smith had one of his best games in a while. Though other pieces of the offensive line struggled to contain Aaron Donald on the other side, Smith did his part holding down the right side of the line.

He didn’t allow a single pressure on 35 pass-blocking snaps and was moving defenders in the run game. His 84.6 pass-blocking grade was the third-highest among qualified offensive tackles while his 80.0 run-blocking grade was the eighth-highest.

The veteran right tackle has been mostly solid this season. He struggled in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, but he’s been an above-average right tackle for the three other games.

The Colts offensive line has only been together for one full game this season due to injuries, but Smith has started the campaign on a strong note as he looks to regain his form as one of the more reliable right tackles in the NFL.
