Roquan Smith needs eight tackles in the Bears' regular-season finale to surpass Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher for the most by a rookie in franchise history. But, like Urlacher, measuring Smith's growing impact on games merely by looking at his tackle totals is a futile exercise. Smith's five sacks trail only Khalil Mack (12.5) and Akiem Hicks (7) for the team lead and represent the second-most (behind Urlacher's 8) ever by a Bears rookie inside backer. With 116 tackles, Smith ranks 12th in the NFL. And he's already among the most prolific single-season passers in franchise history, not to mention his rare feats as a runner.
