Ordinary performance in finale Smith notched six tackles in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 163 tackles and three sacks. Impact Coming off a breakout season in 2020 when Smith posted 139 tackles, he raised the bar even further this year, recording at least eight tackles in the overwhelming majority of the games he played. He'll go into the last year of his rookie deal, though the Bears will be able to exercise his fifth-year option, and he'll certainly continue to be one of the first IDPs taken off the board in 2022 drafts.
