Can Jets rookie WR Arian Smith thrive despite drop issues?

@MathBomb
Arian Smith was drafted in round 4 pick 110 in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.20 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 305 out of 3816 WR from 1987 to 2025.

15/ Arian Smith — New York Jets (Pick 173)

IGA Score®: 90.0 (top 10%)
RAS: 9.20 (top 10%)

Verified vertical speed and explosive traits made him one of the most dangerous deep threats available.

When top-end speed translates from testing to real-game separation, it creates true field-tilting potential.

Jon Gruden is a BIG fan of #Jets new WR Arian Smith

Had him as his sleeper WR in this years draft

"This guy can roll man. I know he has some drops, but I've seen this guy working his *** off. This guy can change directions, he has rare acceleration, he can do the one thing you can't coach man: he can rip the top off & he will strike fear in people. I know what I'm getting. I'm getting an everyday worker that's gonna get better & better & better & when he comes into his own...Arian Smith is my guy."

“No one helped their cause this week more than Arian Smith. The speed demon showcased that athleticism in droves and also showed drastic improvements in catching the football. Should that continue when veterans join the rookies, there’s a legitimate chance Smith may be in contention to be WR2 this year.”

“The speed and improved route-running abilities were there, though. It also helped that Smith was consistently gaining separation in practice. If this continues when the pads actually come on, there’s a good chance Smith will be part of the game plan once the real games begin.”

Don’t know much at all about him.
Might add him on my late round dart throw list

He reminds me so much of Ted Ginn Jr.

The way he runs and his body type. The long, skinny legs and his running gate are very similar. Ginn's hands may have been a little better but not much.

"Arian Smith, the #Jets 4th rd pick from Georgia, continued his impressive camp today, showing an ability to make catches in traffic. The knock on him in college was he dropped too many passes, but he's been surehanded in camp."- @RichCimini

one of my favorite free lottery tickets after early rookie drafts have five shares and hope he makes the roster, that WR room is wide open after Wilson

There were all these talks about Arian Smith having drop issues, but he's looked excellent & sure-handed since being with the #Jets

Maybe the difference coaching makes

Either way, looks like the #Jets might've struck gold with the speedster

Jets rookie WR Arian Smith was better than advertised in preseason Week 1

Jets’ promising mid-round pick could steal WR2 job out of camp

I don't follow it like that's possible but I'd say by end of season.
Bad teams always lie to themselves about the usefulness of veterans as a reason to start them. Good teams point that out about veteran backups.

Whether it's Josh or Tyler or Lazard, we know what they bring.

I think this offense is going to be more old school two TE pretty quickly and ditch the 3WR base.

They rave about Wilson and Taylor and no one is close to them.

Smith or Malachi or whoever can be the other WR. I'd guess it's whoever brings a spark that game.

I think they'll have a lot of trouble in pass protection and have little choice but to go two TEs but also ...Glenn is old school and has said often he wants a ground controlled game with efficient passing.

They've got two very talented corners imo and none of the guys not named Wilson can hack it. It's always "soandso broke free. " meaning "except this one time."

Arian Smith - good player with the ball in his hands.

Going to be saying that a lot this year.

With a passer at QB, I'm curious if rookie YE, Tyler, or Smith see a considerable increase

 

[Intston]

Deep Dynasty add with Wilson out? Someone has to catch passes there, right? The gameplan can't be to have Fields sacked on every play.

 

[warpig33]

Fields will think he has to put the team on his scrawny shoulders and he will just run more. We know damn well he aint gonna throw the ball. Much less spread it around. They'd be better off with Tyrod.
