Lions to host receiver, returner Brad Smith on visit
The Lions are set to host special-teams standout Brad Smith on a free-agent visit Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Smith, 31, played in 13 games for the Philadelphia Eagles last year, catching one pass for 13 yards and playing nearly half of the Eagles' special-teams snaps as a coverage specialist.
A dual-threat quarterback in college at Missouri, Smith has played mostly running back and receiver in the NFL. He was a standout kick returner in the prime of his career, returning four kicks for touchdowns, and has been a core special teams player on every team he's played for.
Before spending the last two seasons in Philadelphia, Smith played two years for the Buffalo Bills and five seasons for the New York Jets.
