NFL player. Position: K. Team: Green Bay Packers.
Quick Facts
- Position: Kicker (K)
- Team: GB (Green Bay Packers)
- Draft: 2026 6th round
2026 Outlook
Sixth-round kicker drafted by Packers. The team traded up to secure Smack, signaling confidence in his long-term potential. Packers released veteran Brandon McManus in May 2026, clearing the way for Smack to be the starting kicker without competition. McManus had posted an 80% FG accuracy in 2025 (fifth-worst in league) and collapsed in the Wild Card loss to Chicago with two missed field goals and an extra point. Smack is all but locked in as Week 1 starter for GB, with no veteran competing for the job. His college numbers (82.8% FG, 14 for 19 from 40-49 yards) were superior to prior sixth-rounder Anders Carlson (who struggled in 2024), suggesting he's a better prospect. Green Bay's investment level and new special teams coordinator Cam Achord's confidence in young specialists position Smack as the clear favorite. Lucas Havrisik remains as backup after setting a franchise 61-yard FG record in 2025.

Preseason performance has been a highlight. In Week 2 against Denver, Smack made consecutive long-distance field goals (51, 59, and 43 yards, with the 43-yarder as time expired) to earn praise from Packers star Micah Parsons. CBS Sports named him one of the biggest winners of the preseason. (per Packers rookie is wowing NFL experts — and even Micah Parsons)
