Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 78.85 (Reserve/backup)
Pro Comparison: Justice Hill
Summary
Brashard Smith is an undersized running back who displays good top-end speed and acceleration. He is elusive in open space and is a good pass-catcher out of the backfield. Most of his issues arise from his lack of ideal size. He breaks tackles at a lower rate and lacks the ideal lower body mass to hold up in pass protection.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Intriguing late-round pick
The Chiefs selected Smith in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 228th overall.
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.
