Fifth-round pickup for Philly
The Eagles selected Smith in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 152nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Smith (5-foot-9, 190 pounds) is a short but stocky receiver who showed a fair amount of promise throughout his Texas A&M career. Given his build, it's unlikely that Smith will play much on the boundary in the NFL, but as a horizontally oriented slot type, he might surprise some with his playmaking ability. Although a fifth-year player, Smith was productive during his true freshman and sophomore seasons, so he's already proven that his standout production was not due to any age advantage. Smith should push for slot reps on offense and the punt returner role on special teams for the Eagles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has chance for noteworthy role
Smith, who the Eagles selected out of Texas A & M in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has a chance to earn a sizable role as the starting slot receiver and punt returner, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles' offense is being redesigned by new coordinator Kellen Moore, and McManus notes Smith checks the boxes for a starting slot receiver after generating 816 scrimmage yards and averaging 15 yards per grab for the Aggies last season. The rookie has also been lauded for his willingness to secure the ball in traffic and his run-after-catch ability, and he also recorded two punt-return touchdowns in college.
