Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
  • Smith tracks the ball well downfield and consistently runs under long throws.
  • His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
  • Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. He has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
  • Has elite balance tight-roping the sideline and in-and-out of his breaks, showing excellent start-stop ability and burst.
  • Smith also has value as a catch-and-run threat, running hard and consistently picking up yards after the catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Smith seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Smith doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
  • Doesn't have the size to consistently win on the outside, but can be productive working the middle of the field and as a return man.
  • Smith also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
