The Kansas City Chiefs selected SMU running back Brashard Smith in the seventh round with the 228th pick in this year's NFL Draft, adding another unique offensive option in the backfield. On Sunday, he spoke with rookie reporters at rookie minicamp, describing his goals for the session and moving forward in the NFL.

"I expected to come in and just learn and pick up from all the coaches and stuff," said Smith, revealing his mentality at minicamp, "so for sure, yes, sir."

After transferring from the University of Miami, Smith earned Third-team Associated Press All-American All-Purpose and First-team All-ACC honors with SMU. He led the team with 1,332 rushing yards on 235 carries and 14 rushing touchdowns, ranking fourth in the FBS with 1,977 all-purpose yards. He played in all 14 games with 10 starts.

"Going into college, I got recruited for a receiver – slot receiver," said Smith, "As I – going into college and being in different systems and being in different offenses, I was moving around a lot, so I played running back and slot receiver a lot."

Smith had experience as a wide receiver before transitioning to the running back role, which opened the door for many offensive ideas. Head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy will likely utilize him in a hybrid role, assuming the seventh-round selection can stand out in training camp.
