A productive Saints rusher and a champion

Will Smith was a strong, consistent edge rusher and a cornerstone of the New Orleans defense, a double-digit-sack threat in his best years. The Ohio State product helped the Saints win Super Bowl XLIV.

Madden had him at 80 as a rookie and a 94 by the 2007 edition, his most productive stretch. He was shot and killed in 2016, a devastating loss that should be stated with respect. A Pro Bowl and a ring in, the rating reflects his on-field work.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
