STM Take
A slight, precise route runner productive even when the passing game shrinks.
The case for
- 2020 Heisman Trophy winner and Super Bowl LIX champion at age 27; the resume is fully built.
- Career 9.8 yards per route run profile (per advanced metrics) ranks among the best in the league at 170 pounds.
The worry
- Jalen Hurts's STTM #14 tier 4 finish in 2025 capped the air-yards volume that fed Smith's prior tier-2 seasons.
- Recent game log shows three sub-10 PPR weeks in the back half; the offense's run-heavy script limits the ceiling.
What to watch: Whether the Eagles open the passing menu in 2026; Smith and A.J. Brown both saw rank drops driven by the same Hurts compression.
Full take and bio
Smith at STTM #24 tier 3 in 2025 (down from #13 tier 2 in 2024) reflects the same Hurts-driven passing-compression story that caught A.J. Brown. The 170-pound frame is unique at the position; the route running keeps him productive even when the air share compresses. Super Bowl LIX 2024 ring remains the resume capstone.
Smith was born in Amite City, Louisiana, won two CFP national titles at Alabama, and was the 2020 Heisman Trophy winner. Philadelphia took him 10th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He won Super Bowl LIX and has accumulated career production playing alongside A.J. Brown in the Eagles' two-WR offense.
