Here’s Why Jaylon Smith Plans To Be “Better Than Notre Dame 100 Percent”
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2...mith-plans-be-“better-notre-dame-100-percent”
...Here’s proof that Smith feels healthier and healthier: He says he has trained this offseason without the foot brace he used last year to counter the movement restrictions caused by the nerve damage he sustained with the old knee injury.
“There’s a great chance that I won’t have to play with it this year,” he said...
..After sitting out his rookie season, the 2016 second-round pick played in all 16 games last year and finished second on defense with 99 tackles, according to coaching film...
...A big reason is Smith’s approach. He was diligent in his day-to-day rehab with Britt Brown (associate athletic trainer/director of rehabilitation), Jim Maurer (head athletic trainer) and the Cowboys’ medical and strength staff.
And he’s tried to learn as much as possible from Lee and the veterans.
“My overall knowledge of the game has improved each and every day,” he said. “And my physicalness is going to continue to improve as well when you talk about getting back to 100 percent.”
