He's a solid run blocker and has shown flashes as as receiver, but he definitely has potential and I think he knows playing with Burrow can bring that out.

I also love that he had other offers but chose to play here because of the opportunity to win and to play with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins, as well as for the opportunity to win!

On a one-year deal, he's also putting an audition on tape for other NFL teams, so you know he's going to play hard and try to make the best of this opportunity.

If we do draft a tight end in the first round, I think the draft pick and Smith could be dangerous in two-tight end sets with Chase and Higgins out wide because how do you choose who to double or even shade while also keep a safety nearer to the line to help stop the run?!

GREAT SIGNING!

WHO-DEY!

I think he's coming here to potentially restart his NFL career. Winning is just a bonus.
