- Possesses the length and power to ward off offensive tackles.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Quarterbacks and ballcarriers feel his strength when Smith plants them in the backfield.

- Needs to keep his pad level low; pops upright and plays too tall, struggling to maintain leverage off the snap.
