Roquan Smith played limited snaps, but even in that time, he showed that he’s going to be a force on this defense. Smith played only eight snaps defensively, but he managed three tackles including a sack in that limited playing time.

Smith showed off his speed and his ability to get to the point of attack quickly. It was very clear in those few plays that he is a better football player than Nick Kwiatkoski who was abused multiple times by Aaron Rodgers in the passing game.

Smith should see a dramatic increase in playing time this week against the Seattle Seahawks and the early returns from his limited playing time against the Packers is that he will be an impact defender immediately.
