Smith blocking

49ers receiver Deebo Samuel caught Smith's eye after taking the league by storm this season with his ability to dominate in the passing game and between the tackles. Samuel was fifth in the league in receiving yards (1,405) while totaling 59 carries for 365 yards and eight scores on the ground.
"I actually want to give a shout-out and appreciation to Deebo Samuel," Smith said. "It's not very easy for anybody to do that on the next level. For him to be able to do that so well, it just really shows that people like me out there can be valued. It's definitely an opportunity that he's opened up not only for myself, but other people under me."
Samuel's rise to stardom sets a new standard for how players can be utilized in an offensive scheme. Players like Smith, who had 64 carries for 373 yards and four rushing scores during his time as an Aggie. He's ready for whatever else A&M coach Jimbo Fisher asks of him this season.

Smith has long been one of my most coveted prospects. I have a small handful of Niners must haves on my list and I hate it sometimes because it is so incredibly painful when they go elsewhere.
Puka Nacua was a MAJOR guy on my list this past draft and I was absolutely gutted that we passed on him.. Dude looks like a superstar already in LA.

There is more to Ainias Smith's gm than a gadget role but it will partly be up to him to transcend it if foisted on him.

Consistent attack as a pass catcher.
Good stop-start moves and reacceleration. Saw a mention of Toney. Smith is technically sound, more efficient mover. pic.twitter.com/CITPMGS4ir
Ainias Smith with excellent tracking/attack and masterful open-field running. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/6o6p97BokL

This should have been a TD by Ainias Smith who displays excellent focus at the catch while attacking at the earliest window and then tightropes the boundary to the end zone.

Officials jobbed him.
If I call him Williams in the audio, I am thinking of HOFer 🤣#NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/HdpVvHxmh6
One thing you're going to get from Ainias Smith is toughness and focus at the catch point. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/7DH3FPFb9F

I don't know if there are many players in the draft better suited to playing in this offense than Smith is.

What stands out with Ainias: contact balance. It's eerie even for a RB his size. Elite trait pic.twitter.com/dtZZALZA81

He won't return punts in the NFL because he's really bad at fielding them, but he's an absolute weapon on offense.
