He responded to a special guest question from Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr.

regarding his 2021 NFL Draft night memory. "What I remember about my draft night was terrible, to be honest. You know, night one, I knew I wasn't going.

Day two, I thought I was gonna get picked, but I didn't, and I remember being a little emotional with my dad, just upset," said Smith, "Just like, Dang man. You know it's gonna happen. You came back to college for another year, but you had blood clots.

Still, you're not getting drafted where you thought you would. On that third day, you're legit. It was just like, Okay, I'm being drafted, but I have one opportunity, and I don't care.
