Why the Chiefs believe final-round RB Brashard Smith was worth trading up for
Briefly

Rookie Brashard Smith, selected by the Chiefs in the seventh round, boasts a unique combination of running back and receiver skills, making him a versatile asset on the team. Having transitioned from wide receiver at Miami to running back at SMU, he brings notable speed, clocking a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, which appeals to the Chiefs' desire for a playmaker. With the team seeking greater explosiveness and options in their offense and special teams, Smith aims to leverage his hybrid skill set to stand out in training camp and secure playing time alongside established veterans.
"Not a lot of running backs have receiver skills and running back skills. So I feel like just coming in I could contribute for sure with my skill set."
"I feel like my skill set fits perfectly with the offense. They're already dynamic, and I feel like I'm a dynamic player. I feel like I'm going to bring a lot of juice to the offense and special teams."
