In a savvy offseason maneuver, Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier secured the services of the seasoned tight end Jonnu Smith. Though Smith may not be a household name, his reputation as a stalwart blocker and a reliable pass-catcher speaks volumes about his value on the field.
Joining the AFC East giants, Smith has not been coy about his eagerness to contribute to the Dolphins, evidenced by his rigorous training regimen as the season inches closer. His dedication was on full display in a recent workout video shared on social media, leaving fans and followers alike buzzing with anticipation for what he’ll bring to the team:
The anticipation is building for Jonnu Smith’s debut season with the Miami Dolphins.
While not anticipated to top the receiving charts for the Dolphins, especially with stars like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and the newly acquired Odell Beckham Jr. leading the charge, Smith is expected to bolster the tight end spot with his seasoned savvy and versatility. Despite his imposing stature at 6-3 and 250 pounds, Smith’s agility and speed in recent training footage have left fans and analysts alike in awe of his athletic prowess.
Smith’s journey through the NFL has seen him don the jerseys of the Titans, Patriots, and Falcons, showcasing his skills across the league. His latest stint with Atlanta was particularly notable, achieving a career-best with 50 catches for 582 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games.
As he prepares to take the field under Mike McDaniel’s leadership, Smith is not only focused on replicating his previous successes but also on fulfilling his role for the team and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Smith’s preparation goes beyond just physical readiness; he’s mentally gearing up for a season that promises much, not only for himself but for the Dolphins as well.
The excitement around Smith’s work ethic and attitude is palpable in South Florida, as he quickly becomes a fan favorite even before the season officially begins. His commitment to excellence is a testament to the type of player he is, making his signing one of the most underappreciated gems of the offseason for the Dolphins.
