Chiefs land perfect RB for Andy Reid with 7th-round draft pick of Brashard Smith

8 hours ago 1

Andy Reid likes him a running back who can catch the football.

Brashard Smith can sure as heck catch the football.

The SMU running back went to the Kansas City Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday.

He may not be an every-down runner, but he's going to make himself useful to Reid for sure.

NFL analyst Warren Sharp shared a bunch of stats to make this point about the 4.39-second 40-yard dash RB.

of course Andy Reid just got one of the best receiving RBs in the class who doubles as a special teams returning ace

RB Brashard Smith:

#1 in class 25% target rate on his routes

#2 in class 1.68 yards per route run

#1 in class with 1,317 return yards

4.39 40-yard dash

Smith was a huge reason SMU had its best season in generations.

You can already see Reid scheming up routes for Smith against linebackers to get open and catch feeds from Patrick Mahomes.

Fans of other teams will soon be annoyed that everyone passed up Smith this long to allow Kansas City to get him.

Mahomes is a kind dude. He'll just say thank you.
