Brashard Smith, a former wide receiver turned running back, might have the most to lose. He was the only holdover in a room that has been transformed under DeMarco Murray and Eric Bieniemy. Smith was tasked with adding strength this offseason, and the question remains whether the coaching staff envisions him as a running back with a defined role or a tweener stuck between a murky receiver competition and a fierce backfield battle.

Smith's role uncertain in transformed backfield; may be caught between RB and WR competition.

Smith, a former wide receiver turned running back, was the only holdover in the Chiefs' transformed running back room under new coordinators DeMarco Murray and Eric Bieniemy. He was tasked with adding strength this offseason, but uncertainty remains about whether the coaching staff envisions him as a running back with a defined role or as a tweener stuck between a murky receiver competition and a fierce backfield battle, putting him at risk of losing playing time.
