View More NewsPreston Smith expected to do “great things”
Redskins head coach Jay Gruden told reporters on Friday morning that he wants to see outside linebacker Preston Smith become a “dominant edge setter,” and that “it’s a big year for him.”
Fantasy Impact
Gruden said Smith has “proved he can be an excellent pass rusher.” He described Smith as “long, tough and strong.” Smith is entering his fourth NFL season after being selected 38th overall in the 2015 draft. He has 20.5 sacks (8, 4.5, 8) in his first three years, but the hope is he will reach double-digits for the first time in 2018. Gruden finished by saying “we expect great things.”
