PLAYER ANALYSIS
Will be a 24-year-old rookie running back after taking two redshirts (one medical) and playing four full seasons. Smith won't put together a viral highlight reel, but he runs with discipline and does his job. He was an important part of the Gophers' impressive 2019 campaign. He keeps the run on track and has some feel for blocking schemes, but lacks creativity and juice on the second level. Smith gets after it in pass protection, which might give him a boost against roster competition at his position.
