PHOTO: Justin Smith officially joins Mizzou coaching staff
For a school known for their production of defensive linemen to the NFL, the return of one of their very best can only be a good sign for future generations of Missouri Tigers as recently retired San Francisco star Justin Smith has returned to his roots and joined the Mizzou coaching staff.

The fourth overall selection in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, Smith left Missouri joining a junior season in which he racked up 11 sacks, 24 tackles-for-loss and an incredible 97 tackles from his defensive end position.
Having a potential NFL Hall of Fame player as an assistant coach, learning from one of the best defensive line coaches in the game in Missouri's Craig Kuligowski, how could a high school lineman say no to that?
Say a prayer tonight for the rest of the SEC East's QBs, they are going to need it.
