Oh, and he was voted to the Pro Bowl too.The National League of Junior Cotillions included Smith on their list of “Ten Best-Mannered People” of 2016. Minnesota’s safety was included in the publication due to, “being known as the NFL’s most anonymous star and an example of great sportsmanship.”In a bit of an upset, Smith was listed as number nine out of ten. Ranked ahead of him were a number of well known American personalities such as gymnast Simone Biles, actor Matt Damon, golfer Rory McIlroy, and politician Ben Carson among others.More from The Viking AgeWhat if the Vikings do not re-sign Patterson and Thielen?5h agoMorten Andersen once again a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame8h agoAdrian Peterson defends Giants receivers against Joe Buck12h agoAnother Vikings draft pick finalized after wild-card weekend1 d agoStrength of schedule for Minnesota Vikings in 2017 season1 d agoThe official rankings are listed below.Simone Biles, gymnastMatt Damon, actorRory McIlroy, golferMissy Franklin, swimmerChris Wallace, news anchorBen Carson, politicianChristine Caine, activistPat Summitt, former basketball coachHarrison Smith, Vikings safetyMalia and Sasha Obama, the President’s daughtersNext: Vikings have one 2017 finalist for the Hall of FameSmith can at least go to sleep at night knowing that he was ranked ahead of President Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha.
