The Jets like Smartt’s upside according to insider Ian Rapoport, and there’s plenty of reason why they should. Smartt made the most of his opportunities with the Chargers, hauling in 16 of 19 targets for 208 yards.

The converted college quarterback has made the switch to tight end and managed to bring in 31 of is 45 career targets, showing he’s got the ability to locate and hang on to the football.
