Smith has exceptional footwork and fluid hip movement, which allows him to mirror receivers in tight coverage, making it difficult for opponents to gain separation. Smith's ball skills are remarkable. He consistently tracks the football in the air and shows exceptional timing when going for interceptions.

In coverage, he shows solid lateral quickness and the ability to run sideline-to-sideline. Tims' natural athleticism is impressive, but his understanding of the defense allows him to play even faster.
