On Monday, the New York Jets reached an agreement with wide receiver Jeff Smith and signed the WR to a one-year contract. Smith was a free agent with exclusive rights, but he’ll be joining a Jets team that has a new head coach and, likely, a new quarterback this fall.
In 2020, Smith was given more responsibility in the offensive unit. He participated in 37 special teams plays and 318 offensive snaps. Despite playing for a squad with few offensive weapons in 2020, he concluded the season with 17 catches for 167 yards.
In the catastrophic 2015 season, the former Boston College wide receiver, who had previously attended Chestnut Hill as a quarterback, played beneath the center. He was switched to wide receiver in 2016, when he excelled with 27 receptions for 395 yards and three touchdowns.
He had 25 receptions for 295 yards in 2017 and six receiving touchdowns in 2018, which was perhaps his greatest year. Smith was often utilized in the run game, on end-arounds, and on misdirection plays in Steve Addazio’s scheme, which made use of his speed in a variety of ways.
