Best role
Rotational safety with special teams value Year 1, could grow into a starting role by Year 2 or 3.
Wrong fit
Man-heavy press schemes that ask him to mirror slot receivers exclusively.
Smith's versatility and willingness to tackle make him a valuable asset in a two-high system that prizes interchangeable safeties.
