Eagles' Nolan Smith: Sacks Wilson in Week 15 win
Nolan Smith registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Philadelphia Eagles' 27-13 win over the Steelers this past Sunday.Smith sacked Russell Wilson for a 10-yard loss late in the second quarter, which forced the Steelers to settle for a 49-yard field-goal attempt that was successfully converted by Chris Boswell. Smith is up to 5.5 sacks through 14 regular-season games, 3.0 of which have come over the Eagles' last five games. He'll look to add to that total against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders on Sunday.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Looks good in expanded role
Nolan Smith recorded eight tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore.When Brandon Graham was sent to injured reserve with a triceps injury he suffered in Week 12, it was expected that Smith would see an increase in playing time. Sure enough, he played a season-high 57 defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with a season-high tackle total to show for it. He appears to be penciled in for a near-every down role for Week 14 versus the Panthers.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Mostly special teams as rookie
Nolan Smith recorded 18 tackles and 1.0 sacks in 17 regular-season games in his rookie season.Smith's low numbers are at least somewhat due to his role, as he didn't play more than eight defensive snaps in a game until Week 12. His season high in that category remained at 21 until the final week of the regular season, when the team rested several starters. The 30th overall pick will look to compete for a larger defensive role in camp this summer.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Falls to Philly at 30th pick
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Nolan Smith in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 30th overall.Smith was rumored to be heading toward the first 10 picks of the draft prior to Thursday, so for the Eagles to get Smith this late is quite surprising. For the rest of the NFC East it might be cause for full-blown panic, because the Eagles were looking strong on defense even before they added Smith and his sub-4.4 speed. The Georgia product is too light to play the edge much at under 240 pounds, but Smith showed a freakish ability to hold up at the point of attack in college, even when going against players heavier than him.
