AS someone who watched Krause and Browner I can honestly say that Harrison is head and shoulders above above them . He is far more of a complete safety that had the ball skills of Krause and the tackling ability of Browner . I also love how subdued he is after making great play after great play so refreshing seeing a humble super star instead of a player celebrating making a routine tackle after he gave up a 28 yard pass .
I’m a Ravens fan and while I knew Smith was good, this video made me appreciate how great he’s been all these years. Much like Winfield, Browner and Krause, Smith hasn’t gotten enough national media recognition because he plays in a small market team. Special player.
As complete a player as you’ll ever see… great video but the one thing even the highlights don’t show is how many times receivers or backs altered their routes, got alligator arms or simply chose to step out of bounds because they knew 22 was going to absolutely rock them.
I grabbed a Smith Jersey back in like 2016 because I wanted my first one to be a solid choice and someone whom would be around for a while and that we all loved. I think in the end this man has devoted everything to the team and deserves the hall of fame for that and consistency of stellar play alone.
So happy he's sticking around, at least for one more season. I was looking forward to seeing the huge hit on Megatron in th end zone several years ago, that was a HIT!
Missing in this collection (from 2014) is hit on Tampa TE Sefarian-Jenkins in OT that knocked ball out giving LB Anthony Barr walk-off TD on fumble recovery! Also, his de-cleating of HOF Megatron as he tried to catch pass in end zone.
@Payt Jared Allen, Cris Carter, Randy Moss for sure. Culpepper was always fun to watch too. But I grew up watching those players so it's hard for me to say any other players before my generation
(well are you convinced) Harrison the (hitman Smith give it 110 precent every game he carries the Viking brand he looks it at 6' 5 he's the hardest hitting safety on every interception every fumble there s he position on the safety blitz there's no other teams in the league that you would consider legendary but with the (Vikings) you would reconsider that dam thought they clear the decks of unruly guests (punishing defence!!!) Like no other (explosive offense!!!) That is bad to the bone that stare down 😠🤬😡💯. 😰🤕
These are just his important plays . Now do his hardest hits 😂it is gonna be another half an hour of bone crunching hits specially against kappernick and two massive hits vs megatron
Should have made a hard pass on a guy who’s not close to what he used to be. Even he knew and took a big pay cut. Happens to a lot of players, they fall off.
You know why? Because Stupid Ed Donatell didnt use him to his strengths! He blitzed 14 total times last year when his season AVERAGE was 38. And didnt play him in the box almost at all! Guarantee it was Mostly not his fault.
If Harrison doesn't get a gold jacket we riot
Skol to that my brother
Sure!!!!
10:36 hahaha
Right there with you brother skol!
Our lives will look completely different when if he gets in.
You know you've had a hell of a career when they can make half hour highlight reels of your play.
"IM NOT FUCKING LEAVING!" - HARRISON SMITH
Even better this season. Hes basically the heart and soul of this team after kirk left now.
How do you get away with using that word every time I do youtube complaints
Dear god, please let the Hitman retire a Viking. Amen
A sure first ballot Hall of Famer! I am so glad he is back. Thank you Hitman, I know you must have had better offers.
Probably one of the most impactful defenders of all-time. He's a first ballot type HOF'er. Hes held our defense together for his entire era.

I am with you. I have been a Viking fan since 1969 and I think your description is outstanding.
One of my favorite Viking players of all time.
Harrison Smith signed for the 2024 season today 💪 SKOL!!!
6:11 how did griffin keep up 😮
I’ve watched this video like 7 times already. You did a great job with this brother. Thanks man.
Harrison balled out since day 1
HARRISON SMITH IS BACK TO STAY IN MINNESOTA VIKINGS.
I swear I see you comment on every Vikings video or channel related to the Vikings and I absolutely love it! Haha you’re the best SKOL
Dam this was a rly well edited and good video. Surprised it doesn’t have more views. Good shit man
The pick against the dolphins where him and EK like caught it together has to be one of my favorite plays
Who’s here after he resigned with the Vikings again? Talk about Loyalty!

Harrison Smith...pure joy in his veins for being a natural born spoiler who will crush your hopes and dreams. 🔥

Same!!!
Moss or Smith and I chose smith
Hall of Famer... lets go.
He's gonna be in the box more this year, you better believe.
You called it. 3 sacks vs the panthers 🔥
I think he's the best free safety they've ever had. And I've been around for a while.
This guy is real Vikings legend. He took a pay cut to stay at Minnesota Vikings.
3:13 was an amazing tackle
So happy he's sticking around, at least for one more season.
I was looking forward to seeing the huge hit on Megatron in th end zone several years ago, that was a HIT!
Great video!! SKOL!
Smith's jersey sales will take off. He's back for a second tour.
Harry hitman!!! Been arguably the best safety since he came in the league!
To be honest I am not sure anyone else has an argument.
His numbers are INSANE
Absolutely love that you posted this, one of the best Vikings I’ve ever seen play. SKOL
😂"that's not my name" 11:33
Loved the video, but you forgot the hit on Kaepernick!
Missing some big hits by harrison but that's the one for sure.
98 for me agree
Paul Krause, Joey Browner, Harrison Smith. Over 5 Decades of Vikings safety Skol
Daren sharper too
You missed the best one when Smith hit Colon Kaepernick like a freight train. I could loop that all day.
Missing in this collection (from 2014) is hit on Tampa TE Sefarian-Jenkins in OT that knocked ball out giving LB Anthony Barr walk-off TD on fumble recovery! Also, his de-cleating of HOF Megatron as he tried to catch pass in end zone.
Why does it look like everyone else is out there playing football, but this guy Smith is fighting a war 😆. I love it! Such a great player!
I’m not a Vikings fan at all, but this guy has always stood out. Absolutely great player. HOF.
How do you not include the hit on Calvin Johnson? Johnson wasn't the same after that hit.
Wow. Some of those Vikings' D's were so good
my 3rd favorite Viking of all time behind Coach Bud Grant and Scott Studwell.
Excellent work. You missed one of my favorites, when he C R U S H E D Megatron in the end-zone early in his career.
Yup. That hit gave megatron permanent nerve damage in his hand. One of his main reasons for retiring when he did. Hitman is legit
Great football player. A staple for the Bikes for a decade!
Commentator: “one of the best safety’s”
Me: UUHH no THE best safety not ONE of these best “
LEGEND.
Hitman is a GOLD jacket with purple 💜
Love Harrison Smith!! Skol!
Can’t believe him and Patrick Peterson are still in the league 😂
Out of my years watching the Vikings, he's one of my top 5 favorite Viking players.
What are the other 4?
@Payt Jared Allen, Cris Carter, Randy Moss for sure. Culpepper was always fun to watch too. But I grew up watching those players so it's hard for me to say any other players before my generation
No one deserves a jacket over Jim Marshall, until Jim Marshall gets into the HoF, then no one deserves it, not even another Viking.
Wherever Harrison Smith is really good things happen for the Vikings and really bad things happen to the other team
I am hopefully that our new D coordinator will dial up some safety blitzes thay get Smith chasing down them QBs again!
Harrison Smith will get a gold jacket. He deserves it
He needs to get into the HoF.
Harrison smith along with Kirk Cousins might be the only players left in the league from the 2012 draft
I will cry when he retires😭
(well are you convinced) Harrison the (hitman Smith give it 110 precent every game he carries the Viking brand he looks it at 6' 5 he's the hardest hitting safety on every interception every fumble there s he position on the safety blitz there's no other teams in the league that you would consider legendary but with the (Vikings) you would reconsider that dam thought they clear the decks of unruly guests (punishing defence!!!)

Watching this I was reminded what aaaaron (birdbones) rodgers said about Smith. Because I never knew where was coming from.
SKOL JEROMES 💜
Return of the Mack
Hall of Fame for sure!! Skol
Zimmer and Smith were a better duo than Tomlinson and Polamalu. The way Zim utilized Harrison was perfect.
Love Harrison ❤️
He hasn’t lost a step 😊
If the nfl doesn’t give him a gold jacket at end of his career WE RIOT
Bring back the BUZZ CUT
Legend
I love Harrison Smith
Harrison not getting in the HOF will be the largest travesty in NFL history.
This guy is pretty good
The random what chant lol
Absolutely a freak😅
18:33 on the packers sideline one of the players got hit in the head with a ball
I thought he was 1x all-pro
*2nd team - I rounded up 😂
I wear hitmans jersey every single gameday
There's no way Harrison Smith isn't a first ballot HoFer. He's put up better numbers than Troy
These are just his important plays . Now do his hardest hits 😂it is gonna be another half an hour of bone crunching hits specially against kappernick and two massive hits vs megatron
As a non viking fan I hope he gets to retire a viking. Dude is a badass!
Goat
What a THREAT!!! HOF!
THE HITMAN
Hall of fame!
Hall of fame for real
Hope he retires on the Vikings, like when guy stays on one team his whole career
SMITH IS PHENOMENAL GO VIKES
My all time favorite player
So glad he resigned and that he can maybe retire as a vike
A sure HOFer
Beat the lions skol
Doesn't matter, the Lions have control for years to come.
Dude’s washed
Most consistent safety in the last decade. We get you don’t watch football
Should have made a hard pass on a guy who’s not close to what he used to be. Even he knew and took a big pay cut. Happens to a lot of players, they fall off.
You know why? Because Stupid Ed Donatell didnt use him to his strengths!
He blitzed 14 total times last year when his season AVERAGE was 38. And didnt play him in the box almost at all! Guarantee it was Mostly not his fault.
5 picks last season and been a goat his whole career you should head out with donatell
Wish there was a channel like this for the Pats :/ I love these vids tho
