2025 NFL Draft Profile: KeAndre Lambert-Smith Scouting Profile

2025 NFL Draft prospect KeAndre Lambert-Smith had his highest level of production of his career in his lone season at Auburn after coming from Penn State; however, scouts question his suddenness on routes and if he has the physicality to be a consistent contributor at the next level. He has shown a lack of separation coming in and out of his routes, as defenders can stick to him, but he has shown the ability to come back to the ball on balls thrown downfield.

Lambert-Smith was a four-star recruit by 247Sports coming out of Maury High School in Norfolk, Virginia, in the 2020 recruiting class. He made five starts for Penn State as a freshman, recording 15 catches for 138 yards; he improved his production to 34 catches, 521 yards, and three touchdowns as a sophomore. In 2022, he recorded 29 catches for 389 yards and four touchdowns, including an 88-yard touchdown catch in the Rose Bowl win over Utah. In 2023, he led Penn State with 50 receptions for 673 yards and four touchdowns, earning Honorable Mention Big Ten honors. He transferred to Auburn for his final year of eligibility and recorded 50 receptions for 981 yards and eight touchdowns, earning Second Team All-SEC honors.

Lambert-Smith is the nephew of former Seattle Seahawks All-Pro and Super Bowl champion safety Kam Chancellor.

Strengths

• Good at working back to the quarterback on errant throws
• Improved development on his hands throughout his career (5 percent in his final season)
• Explosive straight-line speed that shows up on film.
• He has a natural ability to track the ball on deep routes.
• Excellent change of direction ability.
• Plus blocker in the running game, which is impressive with his slight build.

Weaknesses

• Limited on the route tree (ran primarily comeback and dig routes).
• More of a body catcher, rather than extending his hands, especially on intermediate routes over the middle of the field.
• Struggles against press coverage
• Played the primary of his snaps on the right side of the formation.
• • A late breakout season raises questions about his ceiling at the next level.

Last Word on KeAndre Lambert-Smith

KeAndre Lambert-Smith is a prospect who has untapped potential in the 2025 NFL Draft. His production was limited by the offenses that Penn State and Auburn ran. At Penn State, they featured a power running attack that used its tight ends more than its receivers, and Auburn doesn’t run a pro-style system. All in all, Lambert-Smith can play a role in an offense that needs a vertical threat to stretch the defense, and if he can learn the route tree and get bigger and stronger, he will find success at the next level.
