About Smith Updated Jun 20, 2026

L.J. Smith is a Rutgers Tight End with Proven Receiving Upside

L.J. Smith stands out as a tight end with a receiver-like feel, known for reliable hands, route-running savvy, and proven red-zone value from his Rutgers days, where he finished as one of the program’s top all-time receivers.[5] He’s the kind of player who fits best in an offense that wants a TE who can stress defenses underneath and create matchup problems rather than just block, though the available sources here are mostly historical rather than current-season performance data.[5][8]

Decision DECLARED
L.J. Smith declared for the 2003 NFL Draft October 30, 2026
