'07 TN S Harrison Smith (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

[Ironman8]

Lavonte David has 110+ tackles. IMO it goes to him

Another LB with more tackles than Te'o

 

[scUM Hater]

Why did we not have him returning punts while he was here?hwhateve

I don't follow the NFL very closely. Is he up for defensive rookie of the year, and if so, who is his competition?

No exclusively defensive player has ever won it.

 

[Riddickulous]

Season stats (13 games):

78 tackles, 3 INT (two returned for touchdowns)
1 ejection

Umm, what is an ejection?

[peoriairish]

They don't have those in Canada. Everyone just shakes hands and say sorry instead of an ejection worthy infraction.

I just haven't watched enough football to know what it is. I thought it was a good thing like an interception or a sack (maybe a super-powerful sack where you eject the quarterback out of the pocket?). Didn't realize it's an infraction.

[NDdomer2]

He was ejected, or kicked out of a game, for contact with a ref. It was bullshit if you ask me but it of what it is.

Your post was funny though.

Hahahaha!

SportsCenter Top 10 anyone?

Don't forget to bring a towel!

Didn't even make the game highlights.

Harrison Smith's Pick-Six vs. Chicago

 

[MrIrishCanadian1]

Harrison Smith's Pick-Six vs. Chicago

the guy at 0:15 that got his towel knocked out of him looked more concerned to retrieve the hanky rather than tackling smith.

 

[BeauBenken]

Way to go Harrison. Great season by him.

That guy is none other than Armando Allen.

That guy is none other than Armando Allen.

Well then...what I meant to say was that fine looking chap at :15 sure befits one who is well-educated and of upstanding moral character.

Made Mel Kiper's first team all rookie

Andrew Luck, Matt Kalil, Luke Kuechly among top rookies in 2012 - NFL - ESPN

 

[Old Man Mike]

my favorite player his senior year for several reasons --- ideal safety, ideal leader.

 

[NDhoosier]

Just got hurt getting a tackle for a loss that his teammate missed. Looks to be in some pain.

The guy has been so solid this year.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Ruh roh.

Edit: Actually, looks OK. Phew.

 

[NDhoosier]

good to see, the way he couldnt move his leg at first had me worried.

 

[Rocky2820]

They have really talked him up all game long, and deservedly so. Sounds like the Vikings' brass is quite pleased with the difference he has made for their defense this year. Proud of him.

Every 1st round pick and NFL star generated by ND only helps future recruiting. Harrison is the man.

Also note this photo was taken in O'Donoghues on Baggot Street (the bar Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners etc. used to frequent) at around 11am local time. Flights from the US usually get in here around 9:30 or 10:00 basically what im saying is they went straight from the airport to the pub.

Professional athletes.
