Scouting Report: Strengths

• Smith runs precise routes, showing an innate feel for setting up defensive backs to create separation.
• He is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
• Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #39. He wrote "The fastest guy on a team full of Freaks, the 6-0, 185-pound redshirt sophomore consistently hit 23 mph on the GPS and was an All-American sprinter for the track team. Smith ran leadoff on the Bulldogs’ school record-setting 4×100-meter relay team that went 39.02 at the SEC championships before it ran 38.54 at the NCAA outdoor meet, where it finished second. Smith’s blazing speed has produced a spectacular 37.6 yards per catch."
• Has elite speed and cutting ability and good hands and toughness. Lacks the ideal size, but has a similar body type to Antonio Brown.
• He has quick feet and good body control, allowing him to gear down and quickly get in and out of cuts. His hands are good, and he’s a creative runner after the catch with the elusiveness to slip tackles in space.
• He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
• Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Smith has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
