Jets Roster Analysis: What Are Antone Smith's Chances of Making the Team?

As we approach the 2016 season, we are going to profile the players on the roster. Today we look at Antone Smith.

Name: Antone Smith

Number: 30

Year With Jets: 1st

Projected Role: Competing for backup running back spot

His 2015: Smith was released from the Falcons in September. He caught on with the Bears for two months or so. He dressed for five games and got a single carry for eleven yards.

2016 will be a success if: Smith makes the team and contributes. This is now a seventh year veteran so he can't really be considered a developmental guy. Interestingly, Smith has had some success in very limited NFL work. He has only 30 career carries but has posted a 9.9 average per run. He also had 5 total touchdowns for the Falcons in 2014. Even so, the Jets are presumably set with their Forte/Powell/Robinson trio out of the backfield, and four would be a lot to keep.

Odds of making the roster: Longshot (less than 25%)
