Smith looks more confident as a runner than he did previously and has flashed multiple effective juke moves in camp.
He is considered one of the Chiefs’ most explosive athletes because he can contribute as a running back, receiver and returner. Smith has consistently been among the first players in line during kick-return work, alongside Nikko Remigio. His versatility makes his role relevant to multiple roster groups, and the primary question is whether Kansas City counts him as a fourth running back or uses his flexibility to cover responsibilities normally assigned to an additional receiver.
