Kansas City Chiefs running back EJ Smith spoke with reporters after practice on Monday at Missouri Western State University. He opened up about working with Patrick Mahomes early in camp and building his own legacy outside of his father's legendary shadow.
"It's great, still making sure I know my assignment. He's (Patrick Mahomes) been a great guy too, very open for me to walk to him and ask questions and stuff of that nature," said Smith. "Really, just making sure I'm prepared. Making sure that I'm executing, knowing what I'm supposed to do, knowing my assignment so that when my time is ready and when I'm out there, he's ready to throw me the ball and he can trust me."
Smith signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie free agent. He is notably the son of the NFL all-time leading rusher and Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith.
"Yeah, I mean shoot, y'all know who my dad is; he was a first-rounder. I'm an undrafted guy, so my path is already different from his," said Smith. "So, throughout my journey, just making sure I pave my own path, doing it my own way, and learning from him and through his lessons as well is very important for me. Just as a kid, my dad always told me to build my own legacy, and it's my life, so making the best out of it."
During his last year at Texas A&M in 2025, Smith rushed for 205 yards on 44 carries and 4 touchdowns in 12 games.
