and Everybody welcome to another emergency episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collard here.

And guess what?

Harrison Smith is back, everybody,

is something that has been talked about quite a bit through the

off season by us here on the show would Harrison Smith come back is he going to

return is he going to retire and I'll tell you the truth, at the end of last year,

I thought that Harrison Smith was probably going to retire.

That's where my bet was laid, and I wrote an article if you want to go to my

Twitter and take a look at it about if he retires then he has made a Hall of Fame case where I

broke down all the numbers on Harrison Smith talked to the

safeties that played with him through the years Anderson deho Anthony Harris

and just tried to capture the total value of Harrison Smith throughout his entire career

and I wanted to do that because I thought this might be it for Harrison Smith this might be the last time that we see him in purple but he decided

that he did not want to make it the last time that he played for the Minnesota Vikings

so Harrison Smith is back it is reported by I actually I think he's the million dollars, which is a great cap hit for Harrison Smith, tell you the truth.

And I'll pull up some numbers here on Harrison Smith from last year because I think that the

question is probably, you know, what is he going to look like how good is he still and in my opinion I think that Harrison Smith last year showed that he still has a lot of value and also that his value is not entirely just tied in to his physical abilities that his mental part of the game is still extremely strong and extremely important and he could still be one of the better and more impactful safeties in the game.

So I've got his numbers up.

He graded a 68.9 by PFF, which is about average and across the board he was okay in every category run defense, and so forth,

but really stands out.

So of course, and I think Harrison Smith

would tell you this, it's not the same 2017 Harrison Smith
