Arian Smith shows off impressive acrobatics at 2025 NFL Combine
The NFL Combine is about as serious as it gets when it comes to players trying to show NFL organizations why they should use one of their precious draft picks on them. That is most certainly the case with a lot of Georgia football players who have a lot to prove ahead of the NFL Draft later this April.
Saturday marked potentially the most important day at the Combine for Georgia as all three players had a lot to prove to NFL scouts. Running back Trevor Etienne and wide receivers Arian Smith and Dominic Lovett took center stage Saturday, and all three had to have a great day if they wanted to become a high draft pick, and by all accounts all three players did very well.
But the Combine being a very serious event does not mean that each player can’t have a little fun at the same time. And that is exactly what Smith did with all the other wide receivers as he showed off his acrobatics as the group of receivers celebrated their day being done in the end zone.

Arian Smith shows he’s more than just an elite receiver
Smith had a lot to prove at the Combine as Georgia’s wide receiver room led the nation in drops this season, and Smith was one of the biggest reasons why that was the case. But he showed everyone that his issues with drops were a thing of the past by having an all around solid day at the Combine.

On top of that, Smith also ran the fifth-fastest 40-yard dash time which helped set a program record with Lovett.
All of the success Smith had on the field on Saturday is a big deal, but he also showed that he is a great guy to have in the locker room with the above flip into the end zone. Having players that gel well with everyone is just as important as finding great players on the field, and it just so happens that Smith checks both of those boxes.
So don’t be surprised to see Smith shoot up mock drafts after his performance both on and off the field at the Combine this weekend.
