Smith brings a wealth of experience to the table after starting out in the college ranks with Santa Monica Junior College in 2010 and starting his NFL career with the Oakland Raiders in 2012.
During his 10 years with the Raiders, he worked his way from defensive assistant to assistant defensive line coach before moving to the Chicago Bears in 2022 as defensive line coach. While with Chicago, the Bears consistently had a solid defensive front, leading the league in rush defense in his second season (2023).
Smith appears to be another solid veteran hire for Callahan, who is looking to improve on his miserable 3-14 debut season.
