Aldon Smith deepens Seahawks pass rush

Michael-Shawn Dugar uses TruMedia’s PFF-powered research platform to look at what Aldon Smith brings to the Seahawks:

“Smith had 50 quarterback pressures, five sacks and a generated pressure on 12.1 percent of his pass-rush reps, ranking 35th among qualifying edge defenders, according to TruMedia. He was one spot behind Chicago’s Khalil Mack and one above Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, both of whom made the Pro Bowl in 2020. Smith’s total pressures would have led the Seahawks last season; his pressure percentage would have ranked second among Seattle defensive linemen and would have been third overall behind safety Jamal Adams and defensive end Carlos Dunlap.”
