As far as speed goes, from what I've heard Smothers's best asset there is that he's quick and shifty in the pocket, avoiding the rush well. A 4.5 40 is what I've heard, too. Not quite as good on the deep ball as Haarberg or Martinez, but good accuracy and just about automatic within 10.
Biggest problem for him is just limited development time. More time is spent developing guys farther back on the depth chart during spring and fall camps, while during the season itself most of the focus is on getting the top two guys ready for that week's opponent. But last year we didn't really get a spring camp and fall screwy too. Verduzco pretty much alluded to this and said Smothers came in this spring kinda cold and regressed on some things they'd worked on in fall camp, but should be OK on as he gets more reps.
