We were thin at linebacker in 2009, and Charlie Weis asked Harrison Smith to man one of the LB spots.
Smith did so without hesitation, even if his true position were at safety, and he saved the Washington game that year by nailing the receiver with a hard hit at the end of the game.
Also a true team player
