Roquan Smith
What a year the rookie had. Remember in August when fans thought the pick was a bust because he was holding out at practice? Smith was an extremely valuable piece to the 12-4 Chicago Bears and played an extremely sound game when everything was on the line.
Roquan Smith made the first game-changing play of the game when he stole the ball away from Wendell Smallwood for an interception. Smallwood is lucky he made contact with Smith as Smith threw him down because Smith almost took the pass to the house for a game-changing pick-six.
Still, the interception gave the Bears points for the first time and established momentum. Smith finished with seven tackles on top of that and was seen guarding anyone from Darren Sproles to Golden Tate down the field for the Bears. Smith put together a great rookie season and stepped his game up for the postseason. The arrow should only put up for Roquan Smith.
