The 23-year-old UDFA invested his novice season on the Saints practice team while second-year kicker Blake Grupe kept the beginning task for his sophomore project. Grupe ended up the 2024 season going 31-of-33 on additional points and 27-of-31 on basket efforts (7 of 8 from 40-49 and 6 of 8 from 50-59), which made him a 76.1 general grade from Pro Football Focus. This marked a minor enhancement from his novice season, when he went 40-of-40 on additional points however 30-of-37 on basket efforts (8 of 10 from 40-49 and 6 of 9 from 50-59), making a 60.8 general grade.
Smyth's leg strength is indisputable. The choice to stick to Grupe this season was based exclusively on the unpredictability surrounding Smyth's consistency from brief and intermediate varieties– the ranges the Saints thought they ‘d be kicking from frequently. Plainly, New Orleans is pleased with Smyth's development and appears all set to accept a 3rd successive kicking competitors.
