Smith's preseason development earns continued confidence despite depth chart position.

Brashard Smith, a seventh-round 2025 draft pick, had a productive preseason despite being seemingly behind Emmett Johnson on the depth chart; the source notes Smith played sparingly in 2025 but showed enough flash to make an impact, and this preseason looked more comfortable carrying the ball after being largely a pass catcher during his rookie season, using his speed and quickness to create plays to the sideline and get around would-be tacklers.
