Smith, son of Emmitt Smith , had previously taken part in the Dallas Cowboys’ local prospect workout but ultimately decided Kansas City was the better fit. There, he’ll get the chance to work under former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. While his agent, Sean Morgan, confirmed the deal, the 23-year-old opened up about it on Instagram with a heartfelt message.
“Excited to officially sign with the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent,” E. J. Smith wrote in the caption of his announcement post.
“Nothing is given. Everything is earned. I’m ready to work, learn, and prove myself every single day.
Thank you to my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who believed in me and pushed me to this moment. The journey hasn’t been easy, but every challenge has prepared me for this next step. “Grateful” is an understatement.
