Wide receiver Arian Smith from the Georgia Bulldogs has been labeled a notable reach in the 2025 NFL Draft by Pro Football Focus (PFF), following his selection by the New York Jets with the 110th overall pick. Known for his exceptional speed, Smith only became a prominent pass-catcher during his senior season, amassing impressive stats including 48 receptions for 817 yards and four touchdowns.

Despite his impressive athleticism, PFF critiques the Jets for picking him too early, suggesting he was taken several rounds ahead of where he should have been based on his ranking and performance metrics. His low 57.1 PFF grade, combined with a high drop rate of 20.8%, raises concerns about his immediate impact in the NFL. The Jets, however, are banking on his potential to develop into a top receiver, likening him to former NFL star Ted Ginn Jr.
