Viewed as a potential sleeper in Andy Reid's offense after being a seventh-round pick in 2025, Smith suited up for all 17 of Kansas City's regular-season games but didn't get many opportunities to show what he could do on offense. The SMU product saw more than four carries in a game just twice, and both times it was against a Raiders defense that didn't provide the toughest challenge. Smith's elusiveness and pass-catching skills as a converted wide receiver in college give him some PPR upside and kick-return utility, but he lacks the size to be an every-down option in the NFL. KC revamped its running back room in the offseason, letting Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt go and replacing them with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker and former Cardinal depth back Emari Demercado while also using a fifth-round pick on Emmett Johnson. That leaves Smith with no clear path to a consistent role in the backfield, but he could stick on the roster as a special-teams player.
