After going undrafted in 2021, Smith signed with the Atlanta Falcons but didn\u2019t make the final roster. The Miami Dolphins signed him to their practice squad the same year and he stayed with Miami in some capacity up until last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While Smith was with the Dolphins for five seasons, he only managed playing time in the 2023 and 2025 seasons. Of his 23 games, two were starts in Weeks 2 and 3 of last year. After spot duty appearances at left and right tackle in 2023, all of his offensive snaps last year were at right guard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In some cursory research of Smith to see if he would hold any interest beyond being a camp body, there was some interesting talk from Dolphins content creators like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@OLCoachSmith63\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Focused on Fins<\/a> as far as being Miami\u2019s primary swing tackle. This was before he eventually started at guard, but just watch No. 71 and you\u2019ll get a glimpse of some highlights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks held a tryout for a former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman this week.
