. Roquan Smith. . player. 57. .

Roquan continues to anchor a very stout Bears defense in his 4th season in the league. He is now playing alongside former Dawg Alec Ogletree in the middle of the Bears Defense. While his stats are not gaudy, with 40 total tackles, 2 sacks and his first ever pick-six, he is consistent and fundamentally sound.

With his infectious personality and endless energy, he may not remind Bears fans of the ghosts of Soldier Field, but his play certainly reminds fans of linebackers of yesteryear such as Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs.
