# Anthony Smith

NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **DAL** (Dallas Cowboys).

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR
- **Team:** DAL (Dallas Cowboys)
- **Draft:** 2026, 7th round (ECU)
- **Size/speed:** 6-2 with verified speed — rare combo on the Cowboys' current roster

## 2026 Outlook

Seventh-round rookie Anthony Smith enters camp as a long shot to make the 53-man roster, but the Cowboys' team site highlights his size-speed combination as a differentiator in a crowded receiver room. Smith played 47 college games across five seasons (NC State, then ECU), posted 1,053 yards in his final ECU season, and earned Military Bowl MVP honors with 156 receiving yards. He must flash on preseason tape to stick on the roster or practice squad, but speedy late-rounders who show up in August often earn spots in Dallas (per Role Call: Anthony Smith has rare combo of size and speed - Dallas Cowboys ).

## Role / Depth Chart

Competing for a depth WR/special-teams role behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Makai Lemon. Not a 2026 fantasy draft target unless he forces his way onto the active roster in August.

## Injury Status

Healthy entering training camp.
