Related Topics: New York Jets

The New York Jets continued adding offensive firepower on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, selecting Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith in the 4th round. Known for his blazing speed — Smith clocked a 4.36-second 40-yard dash — he immediately brings big-play potential and special-teams value to the roster.

Smith, standing 6’0″ and weighing 197 pounds, was ranked as the 20th-best receiver in the draft by Dane Brugler of The Athletic. He was also one of the players the Jets brought in for a Top-30 visit during the pre-draft process, signaling the team’s strong interest.
