The Chargers selected Auburn WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith with the 158th pick of Round 5 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Lambert-Smith aced the predraft process with an excellent Shrine Bowl week. His 4.37 40-time shows his blazing upside speed. Lambert-Smith spent his first four seasons at Penn State, eventually leading the Nittany Lions in receiving in 2023. His 673 yards topped TE Tyler Warren’s total by 251. Lambert-Smith joined Auburn ahead of last season. He blossomed into a legit deep threat, setting career highs in yards per catch (19.2), aDOT (13.8), and yards per route run (2.70). Lambert-Smith led Auburn pass catchers in catches and yards and tied for first in TDs. He had a 9.02 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 21st among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 22.9%, and 19th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 80.4. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 22.1. He ranked 30th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.92. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is DeVante Parker.
Lambert-Smith has 4.3 speed and a solid career at both Penn State and Auburn.
He should be a reserve behind Mike Williams with the ability to be a deep threat if called upon.
Lambert-Smith is unlikely to crack the lineup with Tre Harris also selected for the Chargers.
He could stick on the end of the roster but will need injuries in front of him to be relevant.
