The folks at EA Sports apparently picked up what PFF was putting down, rating Smith 91 overall, only behind four others in the NFL (Richard Sherman, Darelle Revis, Vontae Davis and Chris Harris Jr.).
Here is the explanation:
Smith was instrumental in improving the Chiefs passing defense from 25th to 2nd last season. He has 86 Speed, 94 Play Recognition, and 93 MCV/95 ZCV/97 PRS.
