Za’Darius Smith’s ‘Snubbed’ Shirts Speaks For Packers & Him
Green Bay Packers EDGE rusher Za’Darius Smith is one of the most impactful free agents to walk through the Green Bay Packers halls. The guy was a leader on Day One. He never let that go. Smith formed a bond with his ‘brother’ Preston Smith and improved the Packers’ defense greatly. After Za’Darius made his first big play in this game early in the first quarter, he revealed that his undershirt said the word ‘SNUBBED’ nodding to him not being named to the All-Pro or the Pro Bowl. It sent an immediate message. Also, I believed Smith made that comment for not just himself but the entire Green Bay Packers team. They were ready to prove a point.

Packers players heard all of the shit people talked about them in the last few weeks. They know people think they’re the worst 13-3 team ever. They know people thought they were frauds. Therefore, Za’Darius, their defensive leader, coming out with a shirt that said ‘SNUBBED’ felt like something more than just for himself. I might be looking into it too much which happens often. But then again, this team’s chip on their shoulder is significant and something to consider moving forward.
