Buffalo Bills: DE Bruce Smith

Again, like Dan Marino, he’s not a bad guy. However, when he lined up across from you, this pass rusher was no joke. 200.5 sacks tell the story. He had four straight Super Bowl appearances when he was primarily the main force on the Buffalo defense. Smith was a villain, but again, in a good way.

For as nice as he was off the field, Smith was a nightmare on it. Despite losing four in a row on the biggest stage of the NFL, anyone who played against Smith in each of those contests would not dare speak a negative word. His god-given ability was impeccable, and the results speak for themselves for anyone who went up against him.

Again, Bruce Smith didn’t talk too much or antagonize or be rude to anyone. He just beat them down; frankly, that’s enough to play a villain role. It’s a shame he never won a championship because he is on the list of those who absolutely deserved just one ring.
