Brashard Smith

Chiefs signed seventh-round pick Brashard Smith to a four-year contract.

The seventh-rounder figures to be in the passing downs mix after the Chiefs let Samaje Perine walk this offseason. Isiah Pacheco should be the No. 1 back in the room on third downs, but Smith might be the primary competition with Kareem Hunt appearing mostly on run-down snaps last year and Elijah Mitchell having a strong tendency to not be on the field on passing downs in San Francisco. Smith has some intrigue in an Andy Reid offense but will likely have a low floor in 2025 as he attempts to establish himself on the depth chart.
