For rookie running back Brashard Smith, Kansas City Chiefs training camp has already been a crash course in football at the next level. The seventh-round pick out of SMU is just over one week into his first NFL camp experience, and the adjustment has already been dramatic.
“I’m having fun. It’s a learning experience,” Smith said after Tuesday's padded practice in St. Joseph. “College is nothing like it, but I’ll say you just got to grasp on, and you got to be ahead, too.”
Smith came to Kansas City as a potential hybrid option on offense, a player with roots at wide receiver and potential at running back after a sensational year for the Mustangs.
