Cornerback Cam Smith, the Miami Dolphins' top pick in 2023, has a chance to make some significant headway in the competition for playing time.
Smith could not impress former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. He could not show he was worthy of repetitions in games, as he only had two tackles all season., which caused him to miss some time in training camp this season. The missed time allowed 2023 undrafted free agent Ethan Bonner to get more repetitions. Bonner has played well in Smith's absence.
"Kind of just instilling confidence that he knows I'm a baller," Smith said this week after practice. "So just making sure that every day he knows that I'm going to be doing what I'm supposed to do, bringing energy, doing everything I'm supposed to do." "So for me and for us, and I think in order to get the best version of him, which we just started to see prior to the injury, he needs to be confident," Weaver said, "He can't be afraid to go out on that practice field and make mistakes and fear repercussions, particularly at the corner spot.
With Bonner sidelined this week with an injury, Smith received more repetitions in practice on Wednesday. He also got more work in the joint practice with the Washington Commanders on Thursday, and Smith performed well when called upon.
