The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American defensive lineman Jordan Smith.

The six-foot-six, 255-pound native of Lithonia, Ga. was a fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He dressed for two regular-season games with the team, recording one tackle.

The 26-year-old was released by the Jaguars after training camp in 2023 and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after the season ended. He was waived by the team before the start of training camp in 2024.
