A new quarterback prospect has caught the attention of NFL scouts and executives, who suggest his skills could make him a compelling option for teams in desperate need of playmaking at the position. Early evaluations indicate he brings a mix of arm talent and decision-making that could disrupt defenses, though his long-term development remains a key question. While not yet a guaranteed starter, his presence in the draft could shift conversations among franchises weighing their quarterback needs. Teams will need to weigh his potential against the risks of investing in unproven talent at a critical position.


Smith will at least give pause to quarterback-needy teams, a few scouts and executives surveyed by The Post agree.
