Tyler Smith is an offensive lineman for the New York Jets. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Appalachian State University.
Smith has been impressive during training camp and the preseason, and he looks to be in line for a significant role on the Jets' offensive line this season. Smith has played both guard and tackle during his career, but he seems to be best suited for a role at guard.
The Jets have depth at both tackle spots with Kelvin Beachum and Brandon Shell, so it appears that Smith will be competing for a starting job at one of the guard spots. It will be interesting to see how the Jets use Smith this season, but it seems like he could be a key piece of their offensive line.
