I've just seen a handful of clips and he's not a RB (obviously). How could you ever really hand him the football? Even someone like Duke Johnson or Theo Reddick, guys you know are primarily receiving threats, know how to run the football if you get them a lane.
You watch Smith and he's upright, surprisingly stiff for a fast guy and doesn't have any idea how to use his hips/feet to set up a run. He doesn't look like he runs behind his pads and all and he's gonna get KILLED a time or two. He obviously won't know how to block.
I think it's a silly experiment born of a desperate attempt to salvage a supremely fast asset that can't actually play CB. The natural switch would be to WR but they just have more WR depth than they know what to do with already.
This seems like a waste of time, IMO. But it ain't my time so we'll see...

They are doing this right.
He was just not good at CB. I remember seeing him briefly play last year and he was lost.
He is a good kick returner and some of the traits that you need to be a good KR and good RB are similar, namely speed, vision, etc.
They are just making sure they leave no stone unturned. Smith has no future at CB.
