While Smith entered the league as a cornerback, he has also played as a running back and special teams ace. He has excelled as a kick returner, averaging 23.9 yards per return during his time with the Texans and even scoring one touchdown.

In addition, Smith has played a few hundred snaps on defense and returned some punts

Although Smith is primarily expected to contribute on special teams for the Broncos, his versatility likely played a role in earning him the contract.

This will be his fifth team since entering the league as a sixth-round draft pick in 2018.
