Packers Visit East Carolina WR Anthony Smith

0:00It's April 6th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Packers got no first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, so their pre-draft visitors ain't cracking the elite prospect list. That makes sense, right? They're eyeing late-round gyms or even undrafted free agents. Latest edition draw Monday, Anthony Smith, wide receiver out of East Carolina University, Smith's a season vet at 24, transferred from North Carolina State after four years on the bench there. Hit is stride as a starter for the pirates over the last two seasons, leading them in receiving yards both times. In 2025, he balled out with 64 catches, 1053 yards, and seven touchdowns, plus a 45 yard rushing. Score on his only carry, fans and scouts buzzing about his athletic upside, especially after ECU's pro day. This 6 foot 2, 197 pound dude ran the 40 in the low 4.4s, jumped at 36 inch vertical, and shredded the 3 cone under 7 seconds.

1:05One clock even had him at 4.40 flat, with a 1.4910 yard split, putting his RAS score over 9.2. He's linking up with Georgia State's Ted Hurst as the second wide-out visitor. Both got that tall, speedy frame Packers love. Hurst ranks higher in the 80s on big boards, but Smith's production screens priority death. Now the visitor tally sits at 8, mixing a few top 100 shots with UDFA upside. Packers stacking these workouts smart, building for day 3 and beyond. Keep an eye on the full list as more names leak. This could shape their receiver room come training camp.
