        Chiefs Add RB Brashard Smith in the Seventh Round

        The Kansas City Chiefs selected SMU RB Brashard Smith with the 228th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Smith entered college as a WR at Miami. He flashed athletic talent but was never quite able to crack the Hurricanes’ deep rotation. From 2021-2023, the Florida native totaled only 69 catches, 770 yards, and 4 TDs. While in the transfer portal, SMU approached him about moving to RB and utilizing his explosion differently. It worked. Smith ran for 1,332 yards and 14 TDs this past season, adding 39 catches for 327 yards and 4 TDs. Like current Giant Tyrone Tracy, Smith easily transitioned from WR to RB and found his future spot in the NFL. The Combine only helped his draft stock, as he blazed a 4.39 forty time and showed elite short-area burst with a 1.54 ten-yard split. Those were key marks, as Smith checks in at 5’10, 194 pounds.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Smith, a converted WR who initially played at Miami, was a rushing and receiving threat for SMU this season.

        He carried them to the College Football Playoff.

        He adds a versatile weapon who could make the roster for the Chiefs, needing someone who can step in and add some sizzle in the passing game from the RB spot.

        Dynasty Impact

        The late round draft capital makes it tough to trust Smith, but he can be a late stash in deep leagues.

        Being paired with QB Patrick Mahomes is never a bad thing.
