One of the names that’s frequently on the lips of those reporting on Kansas City Chiefs training camp these days is cornerback Tremon (Tre) Smith, the Chiefs’ sixth-round pick out of Central Arkansas.
If not this one — which would draw a flag in a game but shows Smith’s tenacity.
Smith, 22, was Alabama’s AAA Player Of The Year as a high school quarterback, and brings that experience to the cornerback position — allowing him to anticipate what the opposing passer might do. He’s also blazing fast, with a 4.3 time in the 40. Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub says Smith’s speed is second only to Tyreek Hill on the squad.
