A West Coast timing and run-action passing game that prioritizes quick reads and getting the ball out fast to playmakers.
Year 1 starter who can grow into a high-volume passer, showing flashes of athleticism to extend plays and make throws outside the pocket.
A vertical-heavy Air Raid offense that relies on deep shots and aggressive downfield reads.
Smith's quick processing and short-to-intermediate accuracy make him a natural fit for systems emphasizing timing and rhythm, but his deep ball inconsistency limits his appeal in highly vertical passing schemes.
Selected #39 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of West Virginia.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
