Jonnu SmithTE
Smith is cited as one of just 18 tight ends since 2017 who scored 12-plus PPR points per game (minimum 8 games) while being drafted as TE10 or later. He qualifies as a successful late-round tight end breakout case due to being a veteran joining a new team in 2024, supporting the thesis that new offensive situations are a key driver of late-round TE success (5 of 18 cases, 28%). He also appears in the outliers group as one of the few who succeeded despite ample pass-game competition (Tyreek Hill, Waddle).
