Cowboys' Smith says he's 'full throttle' ahead of training camp

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith reiterated that he's back to full strength after missing the entire 2016 season recuperating from a devastating knee injury.

Smith suffered a torn ACL and LCL during his final collegiate game at Notre Dame, but the Cowboys drafted him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft based off his immense potential.

"Man, it's been great," Smith said via the Cowboys' official website. "Whenever I'm out there, I'm full-go. I'm full throttle, and I'm feeling like myself again. So it's a great feeling."

After a year of inaction, Smith is chomping at the bit to take the field again.

"That's something that I'm really looking forward to, back in Oxnard, California, being able to be on the field again and running and competing with my guys is something that I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to being out there."
