He doesn't likely want to due to the huge pay difference, but if he wants to actually make teams and get playing time, he might be best off trying to actually lose about 14-24lbs from that 294 and just become a blocking TE if he has that much trouble keeping weight on.

Depends if he has ability to catch the ball at all or not.
If not, no reason to go even further down, as that's only gonna make him even less effective blocking.

From an article back in May of last year, Smith got up to as high as 311 lb around that time.
He was around 295 for last year's Senior Bowl and only 283 during the ECU season opener in 2020.
