2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kansas City has had success with late-round running backs in recent years, most notably 2022 seventh-round pick Isiah Pacheco, but Smith brings a very different skill set to the table. The SMU product converted from wide receiver in college, giving him real upside as a passing-down option in the NFL, and he impressed at the combine by posting a 4.39 time in the 40-yard dash. Smith could also provide value as a kick returner, but with Pacheco and Kareem Hunt at the top of the depth chart, he could struggle to crack the gameday roster as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Intriguing late-round pick
The Chiefs selected Smith in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 228th overall.
ANALYSIS
Smith is an intriguing prospect. He had considerable pedigree as a four-star wide receiver and was a special-teams standout with Miami before transferring to SMU for his final collegiate season. He converted to running back with the Mustangs and totaled 1,659 yards from scrimmage with 14 touchdowns. It's difficult to get too excited about the potential for a seventh-round selection to immediately contribute, but Smith will be on a historically strong offense with a relatively open backfield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stock rising after position switch
Smith's final season at SMU, when he switched from wide receiver to running back, could help his draft stock rise ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com believes.
ANALYSIS
Smith logged 69 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns as a wide receiver for three years at the University of Miami. Not only did Smith transfer to SMU for the 2024 campaign, he also opted to convert to a running back. That position change turned out to be the right one, with Smith logging 235 carries for 1,332 yards and 14 touchdowns while adding 39 catches for 327 yards and four scores. Smith should draw interest from teams looking for a versatile running back late in the draft, similar to when the Giants took Tyrone Tracy in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
