Injuries to other tight ends will force Smith onto the field almost every play; however, the source questions whether McDaniel and Kovie actually want him as part of the plan, noting he's not a complete tight end in any way and is an athletic freak who can catch but lacks the full skill set that has sometimes resulted in other players getting snaps ahead of him.

Smith is a dynamic size-speed tight end acquired by the Packers in the offseason who has a strong historical record against the Jets: he scored a touchdown against them for the Steelers in Week 1 last year, and when he was a Dolphin, he scored in each game he played against the Jets, including a game-winner in overtime. Smith had at least one 40+ yard reception in Week 1 and will be tested against Jets safeties Andre Cisco and Dane Belton, who were not particularly spectacular in pass coverage last year.
