Negative signalRole

Smith lacks strength for between-the-tackles work; relegated to third-wheel role.

Second-year running back Brashard Smith has improved on positional fundamentals but still lacks the strength to run between the tackles and pick up pass rushers one-on-one consistently throughout a game. With the Chiefs showing trust in rookie Emmett Johnson over veteran Emari Demercado, Smith is projected to play less often as a change-of-pace back in the third-wheel position behind Kenneth Walker and Johnson.
