Season so far
Za'Darius Smith has played at a detrimental level over his lone appearance this season, earning an overall grade of 53.2 across 34 snaps. Because he has only played in one contest against Green Bay in Week 3, it is still early in the year to evaluate any sustained weekly trajectory. His performance was heavily dragged down by a 53.0 pass-rush grade over 33 rushing snaps, where he struggled to bend the edge and routinely ran past pocket depth. Counter efforts were equally ineffective, as his inside counters and spin moves were consistently shut down without impacting the quarterback. His only notable positive contribution was a secure tackle made short of the line to gain after dropping into flat coverage.
