Scouting Report

Assets
  • While not blessed with the supreme speed Smith does have above-average size, fluidity, and overall athleticism. He's a bruising runner who can go inside but also cuts quickly enough to go outside. Also a solid receiver and blocker.
Flaws
  • Runs upright and takes a lot of hits. A spread-option type who must learn to read blocks more effectively. Has had a few character concerns in the past.
Career Potential
  • Good featured back.
