Hunter Henry excited to see Jonnu Smith break out, says 'he's going to come on'

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith hasn’t quite lived up to his four-year, $50 million contract yet.

Smith is currently fifth on the team in receptions (15) and receiving yards (115) — both behind his counterpart Hunter Henry (20 receptions, 216 yards). He had a shaky game against the New Orleans Saints where he had a couple drops, one of which led to a pick-six that likely ended the game.

One thing that Smith prides himself on is his work ethic and he’s confidently stated that since joining the Patriots.
