you cannot drop a routine catch on your only offensive snap of the game...With his straight-line speed, he very much could end up being a positive contributor in that facet of the game: special teams

Negative signalRole

Smith's routine drop on only snap signals special teams focus over receiver role.

2025 draft pick and second-year receiver dropped a routine catch on his only offensive snap of the game in Week 1. The source criticizes the original pick as boneheaded and notes Smith was lucky to make the roster. With his straight-line speed, Smith's best path forward is special teams contribution rather than offensive snaps.
