Can Jets rookie Arian Smith's blazing speed help him become an elite WR?
Briefly

Despite his impressive athleticism, historical patterns indicate that speed alone does not guarantee NFL success, as many fast receivers have struggled. Smith had a concerning drop rate of 11.8% last season, which the coaching staff is hopeful can be corrected. His performance in minimizing drops will be critical as he transitions from college to professional football and aims to secure a place in the Jets’ roster.
