In addition to his time with Green Bay, Smith played for both the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. With New England, he appeared in eight games and started once. Smith began his professional career when he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round (215th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft. During his rookie season with Arizona, he played in ten games and started twice at right guard.
Smith's career has included stints on several teams' practice squads. In 2023, he spent time with both the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles.
