L.J. SMITH

Position: TE Class: Sr School: Rutgers Conference: Big East Ht., Wt.: 6'3, 258 40 Time: 4.63 Grade: 3.75 Selected by Philadelphia Eagles Round 2, pick 29 (61 overall)

BIO: All-Conference selection the past two seasons leading Rutgers in receiving each year. Totaled 32 receptions for 384 yards with three scores as a senior after 30-282-3 the prior year. Posted a career high 34 receptions as a true sophomore in 11 starts. POSITIVES: Athletic tight end with a large upside potential for the next level. Fluid, breaks down and extends his hands, catching the ball away from his body. Goes up in a crowd, adjusts and comes down with the ball. Looks the pass in and displays strong hands. Runs well in a straight line or laterally. Quick into his blocks and adequate strength at the point. NEGATIVES: Not dominant blocking at the line. Only adequate route running skills. ANALYSIS: One of the few bright lights in what has been a terrible football program. Performed well at the Combine and seems to improve all aspects of his game every season. Play should only be enhanced by having talented teammates surround him. PROJECTION: Late Second Round
