Renowned Minnesota Vikings safety, Harrison Smith, who recently restructured his contract to aid the team in saving $12 million in 2024 cap space, voiced his reaction to the new swivel hip-drop tackle ban by the NFL safety committee. Smith, nicknamed "Hitman", stated that from his perspective as a human he's indifferent, as a businessman he understands the NFL's intentions, but as a player known for his fierce defense, he dislikes the ruling. The new ruling requires Smith and other defensive players to adjust their tactics, complicating their objective of quickly bringing down an offensive player.
