Smith spent the past month in Florida where he trained with several teammates. While he’s gotten more experienced and “wiser,” his preparation for the season looks the same.<\/p>\n
“I try to get better every way that I can and improvement doesn’t just happen on the field on gameday, it starts in the offseason,” Smith said. “You have to challenge yourself every single day \u2026 and I appreciate the fact that, in Year 14, I still have a lot of room for improvement.”<\/p>\n
Smith always had plans for a long NFL career, so there’s not much shock in his voice when he says it’ll be his 14th season.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always believed in myself, I’ve always believed in my talent and my work ethic and I believe that’s going to carry me forward as well,” Smith said.<\/p>\n
It’s been 10 years since Smith played for the Green & White, and in that time he’s learned from “being under some really great quarterbacks.”<\/p>\n
“That’s what the NFL is about, it’s about the process,” Smith said. “Heading into Year 14, I still have that same edge, that same chip on my shoulder that I had as a rookie \u2026 you always got to have that edge, and you always got to try and find new ways to get better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Smith spent the past month in Florida where he trained with several teammates.
