Get to know new Bengals DE Chris Smith

Let’s take a look at the personal side of Chris Smith, the newest Bengals player.

The Bengals made a surprise trade this week by adding former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Chris Smith to the roster, in exchange for a conditional 2018 seventh round draft pick.

We already broke down the film from his limited playing time in Jacksonville, and now it’s time to get a look at Smith via the lense of social media. In addition to what’s seen from his Instagram below, you can also follow Smith on Twitter.

Smith has a daughter and son, both of whom are very cute!

He met Snoop Dogg at the Combine.

Here’s a look at him doing some drills before the draft.

He was ranked among Mel Kiper’s top five defensive ends ahead of the draft.

He was selected by the Jaguars in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
