Heading into the draft, the team's top wideouts for quarterback Brock Purdy are Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall, with many expecting the 49ers to select a receiver next month, perhaps one with some speed.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Smith posted a standout 40-yard dash time of 4.36 seconds, along with a vertical jump of 38 inches and a broad jump of 10 feet, 7 inches.
"Smith is the fastest player on the field," Lance Zierlein wrote in his NFL.com scouting report. "If a cornerback presses him and misses, he better have safety help because Smith averaged 36.5 yards on his 10 career touchdown receptions."
Smith (6-0, 179) recorded 48 receptions for 817 yards and four touchdowns during the 2024 season, per Sports Reference. Over his collegiate career, he tallied 68 catches for 1,356 yards and 10 touchdowns.
