The Ninja who tore up interiors from Arizona to Houston
Antonio Smith called himself the Ninja and turned his sacks into a little sword-drawing routine, but the disruption underneath the theater was real. A fifth-round pick, 135th overall in 2004 out of Oklahoma State after a juco start at NEO A&M, he grew into a relentless interior rusher who lived in the backfield. He anchored the Cardinals line that reached Super Bowl XLIII for the 2008 season, a heartbreaking loss to Pittsburgh, then signed with Houston and paired with J.J. Watt to wreck AFC South pockets from 2009 to 2013.
He made the Pro Bowl as a replacement in 2011, drew a one-game suspension in 2013 for yanking Richie Incognito's helmet off and swinging it, and after stops in Oakland and Denver he collected a ring with the Broncos in Super Bowl 50 over Carolina before a final 2016 lap in Houston. Madden charted the late bloom, a 67 in the 2006 game slowly building to a 90 in the 2013 edition during his best stretch of interior havoc. He retired to an Oklahoma ranch, raising cattle and horses, still coaching defensive linemen.
