The Vikings' offense is primarily a modern West Coast timing and run-action system, emphasizing route precision and versatility from its tight ends.
Immediate impact as a receiving threat from multiple alignments, with a ceiling as a reliable chain-moving target and red-zone option.
A run-heavy, traditional smashmouth scheme that expects dominant inline blocking from its tight ends without emphasizing receiving prowess.
Smith's receiving skillset and versatility make him a strong fit for a pass-heavy offense that values tight end production, despite his average blocking metrics.
Selected #50 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Minnesota Vikings out of Alabama.
