While you were watching Kentucky thrash Alabama on the hardwood Za'Darius Smith was getting busy on the football field.
Smith was playing in the East-West Shrine where he helped lead the East to a 19-3 victory. Here's what NFL.com had to say about Smith's performance:
Led by defensive ends Anthony Chickillo of Miami and Za'Darius Smith of Kentucky, the East defensive line dominated in Saturday's East-West Shrine Game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The East won 19-3, and Chickillo (6-foot-4, 275 pounds) and Smith (6-5, 265) were relentless with their pass rush and disruptive play. LSU defensive end Jermauria Rasco (6-3, 252) also flashed at times with his pass rush. Chickillo and Smith were unblockable at times, and NFL Media's Mike Mayock -- who provided analysis during NFL Network's telecast of the game -- cited their get-off, power and toughness.
Way to represent the BBN Big Z!
