Former Falcons defensive end Chuck Smith has accepted a position as a special advisor to help the NFL rules committee, according to the league.
Smith, who participated in the two working sessions at the league office Tuesday and Wednesday, “will continue to be a part of the process moving forward,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Smith, one of the NFL’s top pass-rushers of the 1990s, has turned into the Pass-Rush Whisperer in retirement.
Over the past few years, he’s been hired as a personal trainer to help some of the top NFL candidates get ready for the combine and for their pre-draft workouts.
Smith, who is from Athens, played for the Falcons (1992-99) and with Carolina (2000). He was on the franchise’s only Super Bowl team and finished his career with 58.5 sacks.
“I am on cloud 9,” Smith said. “What an honor and experience.”
