Was anyone expecting Preston Smith to be this good?

So far he has been the best defensive linemen in the SEC this season. I expected it to be Chris Jones or Robert but this guy has come out of nowhere. I don't remember him being this good.

Hopefully they play at the same time on sat. Someone will be free

he played like this in the liberty bowl and everyone was hopeful that it would carry over, but I don't think anyone expected what he has done so far.

No one was expecting him to be the best DL in the SEC the first 3 weeks -- but he was close to elite last year. Was a much better all-around DE than Autry. Far more physical and less likely to get made a total fool in run support. Was actually a superior pass rusher in both of Autry's years too...
Smith had a decent draft grade and thought about leaving early. Pros consider him similar to McPhee in alot of ways ...

i had a few classes with preston over the years the guy is awesome and has a huge fricking chip on his shoulder because bigger programs didn't recruit him

He has added some weight, and he is a lot stronger. He and Chris teamed up well in Mobile. Hopefully we will see more of that with Preston making the QB step up into the pocket while Chris crushes it from the front.
Chris and Preston are really tall. If they get their hands up, they can cut off a lot of passing alleys.
I know the competition has been weak, but 30 TFL so far is pretty stout.
