The million dollar question. Why hasn't he been more involved in the receiving game plan by now. He's obviously super talented, can catch, has breakaway speed and runs crisp routes. Instead we're picking up anything that slightly resembles a receiver. Any insights out there. TIA

He’s soft. It’s so obvious when watching him in game. In the Bucs game he was supposed to crack down on a linebacker and looked like he whiffed on purpose leading to Ingram getting crushed in the backfield by the guy he was supposed to be blocking. It seems like he drops passes when he knows a hit is coming.
This may change in an offseason of bulking up.
Watch in upcoming games he just doesn’t seem to be physical at all. Thomas needs to teach him a thing or two about being a physical receiver.

For a rookie 3rd round pick he hasn't been terrible. We've gotten spoiled here expected 3rd round and later to come in and be all world

He had a 6-game stretch where he had 21 catches 353 yards 4 td. He then missed a game bc of injury, and hasn't caught a ball yet. Maybe he isn't 100%

I don’t think he’s %100 healthy.

Part injury, part being a rookie

He’s a rookie 3rd round pick. A lot of you posters are football idiots

He’s a very young player in a difficult offense for his position. He’s doing just fine and has had a baptism by fire for the most part. Not sure what you expect from a 3rd rd rookie.

We drafted him to be Michael Thomas, Jr. He is progressing very slowly.

I agree with many of the comments already posted. To me, Smith has not looked the same since he injured his foot, an impediment to even the best and most seasoned receivers. If he cannot push off or plant hard enough, he'll have trouble getting separation and making sharp cuts. To be fair, Smith simply dropped arguably the most "noticeable" pass: a sure touchdown against the Cowboys. In my recollection, Saints' tight ends have dropped the lion's share this season.
