Per RapSheet, the Atlanta fullback paid a speeding ticket fine, informed the Falcons, and assumed the matter was over. He was then pulled over Wednesday for an expired registration and arrested for driving on a suspended license stemming from the previous incident. The Falcons were made aware of both incidents and have yet to provide additional comment.

Smith, a nine-year veteran, was recently re-signed by the Falcons on a one-year deal. The specifics of the charges remain unknown. The Falcons issued a statement acknowledging the legal matter but refrained from making any further comments. Smith's role in the offense dwindled towards the end of the 2022 season as the team cut their 21-personnel usage in half after Week 9.

Smith doesn't touch the ball much but is on the field a surprising amount. He played on a quarter of the Falcons' offensive snaps last year and has been a mainstay of Atlanta's special teams unit since joining them in 2019. He could lose some snaps to Jonnu Smith, who occasionally lines up in the backfield, but his role on special teams will guarantee him a roster spot.

Smith played on just 16.8% of the offense's snaps in 2019, but was on the field for 58.6% of plays on special teams. The six-year veteran will turn 28 in April.
