Patriots-style power run game demanding versatile blocking tight ends in multiple alignments.
Could contribute immediately as a blocking specialist in heavy packages, eventually developing into a starting Y-tight end with some receiving upside.
An Air Raid or spread RPO offense that prioritizes receiving tight ends and minimizes in-line blocking responsibilities would diminish his core strengths.
Smith's size and run-blocking prowess make him an ideal fit for schemes that value a physical presence at the tight end position to establish the run.
