He looks to me like one of those players who have an extra gear when it looks like he is at top speed he accelerates.

He adjust well with the ball in the air..speeds up or slows down. Has a unique ability to read the ball in the air so well. He's on Sirius now.

Sirius interview with Smith:

Has never been to NYC
He said he loved the senior bowl
He said he runs all the routes but looks forward to perfecting his craft for the jets
He said Ohio state calls a lot of go routes, so the tape may seem like that is all he runs, but it isn't true. He used his private workouts to showcase the route tree abilities

Smith wins on vertical routes as well as any WR prospect I've watched over the past few years #NFLDraft #Jets
Dorsett runs a faster 40, but IMO Smith plays faster and has a better knack for getting open deep.

Thats a real skill that requires more than just speed, the great deep threats are fast, but they are also adept and making an imperceptible gesture, just enough to make a DB blink, then they explode and are gone with the wind.

I've seen thousands of fast WR's who don't get open deep like this guy.

Again, reminds me of Wesley WaIker, I can't emphasize that enough.

Smith is fast on the field, which is where it matters most. He has a pretty good 40 time, but even more importantly, he's even faster on tape.

I don't love the draft so far but I have so much more faith in Macc than I did with Bradway/Idzik. He gets the benefit of the doubt at this point from me.

I would have gone DGB or Jalen Strong or Tyler Lockett or Rashad Greene there. I like them all better than Smith.

One thing is obvious though. They are selecting high character, disciplined, coachable players. The Rex era of knuckleheads is over. And we can all rejoice on that.
