02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers utilize a versatile pro-style offense with a strong emphasis on establishing the run while also featuring play-action passes and zone-read concepts.

3rd Down BackZone Scheme RBChange-of-pace backReceiving Option
Best role

Initially a valuable passing-down specialist and rotational back in Year 1, with the long-term potential to develop into a prominent receiving threat and an effective every-down back in a zone-heavy scheme.

Wrong fit

A run-first, traditional power-gap scheme that primarily relies on between-the-tackles runs and does not frequently utilize backs in the passing game.

Smith's excellent receiving ability and burst make him an instant contributor in a system that values pass-catching backs, offering significant versatility to an NFL offense.
