| Strengths | Smith is a highly productive early entrant who has a great combo of speed/size; natural, instinctive runner with great quick feet; good lateral mobility and breaks out of his cuts quickly; physical runner between the tackles but has enough burst to bounce; excellent vision and patience; great nose for the end zone in the red zone; has not lost a fumble since 10th grade, over 1300 carries; always falls forward, shows good leg drive when he gets hit.
|
| Weaknesses | He is an adequate but not a great receiver, doesn’t look the ball in well; adequate blocker but goes for the cut block too often, not very physical for a big guy; lacks the top-end speed of some other backs; plays with high emotion and gets frustrated if he gets bottled up or a block is missed; workhorse back with a lot of mileage but has shown good durability; has not faced elite competition but has produced well when tested by BCS schools (see the Texas game).
