Smith

•

The one area Smith has always stood out is his ability to avoid tackles. His 0.04 avoided tackles per route is the most for tight ends since 2022.

•

Smith averaged 65% of Miami’s offensive snaps in 11 personnel over the first six weeks, which jumped dramatically in Week 7 and held steady at 79% over the rest of the season. In 12 personnel, he only played four of a possible 24 snaps over the first two games, but that quickly changed, and he played 75% from Weeks 3-15. However, he saw a notable decrease at the end of the season, averaging 60%.

•

While other players in the Dolphins had strong splits with and without Tua Tagovailoa last season, Smith found success with or without him. His seven-catch, 96-yard and one-touchdown performance came the week before Tagovailoa returned from injury. However, Smith had two 100-yard games, and those both occurred with Tagovailoa at quarterback.
