The original Pro Bowl roster lacked representation from the aqua and orange, but that changes with Smith replacing Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who will instead be preparing to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59.
Smith’s 884 receiving yards ranked fourth among all tight ends, trailing only Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle. He and Kittle tied for second among tight ends with eight touchdowns, trailing only Mark Andrews (11).
A 2017 third-round selection by the Tennessee Titans, Smith was a perfect fit for Mike McDaniel’s system, clearing previous career bests in both receptions (50) and yards (582). Additionally, he averaged over five receptions and 50 yards per game with an impressive 80 percent catch percentage despite working with four different quarterbacks throughout his first season in Miami.
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games begin with the Skills Challenge on Thursday, Jan. 30. The flag football bout is slated for 3 p.m. on Sunday. More details on the Pro Bowl Games, including rosters for the AFC and NFC, can be found here.
