## Resource

Harrison Smith, Minnesota’s 37-year-old defensive anchor and NFL interception leader with 39 picks, is back for one final season on a $12M deal—his experience, leadership, and elite stats (including just one shy of 40 picks and 20 sacks) make him indispensable. Beyond the numbers, he’s the brain behind the Vikings’ complex defense, guiding pre-snap adjustments and mentoring young safeties while freeing up Josh Metellus to thrive. With Smith leading the charge, the defense feels more complete—and the future, at least for now, looks sharper. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
