Missouri redshirt sophomore defensive end Aldon Smith has decided to enter the 2011 NFL Draft. "I'd like to thank everyone at Mizzou for supporting me," Smith said in a released statement. "The coaches, our fans and alumni, everyone has been great, and they've definitely helped me get to this point. It's been my dream for as long as I can remember to play in the NFL, so this is something I'm really excited for."

Smith has been dominating with 112 tackles, 29 tackles for loss and 17 sacks the last two seasons. But this is a deep class of defensive ends, which will play a significant factor in where he is selected.
