Smith has worked as the Jets' No. 5 receiver so far in camp, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Smith surprisingly has been ahead of 2020 second-round pick Denzel Mims, as well as fellow holdover Braxton Berrios. Couple Smith's usage so far with his versatility -- he can contribute as a return man on special teams and speedy gadget guy on offense -- and the 25-year-old receiver's building a strong case to make the Jets' regular-season roster.
