J J Smith makes splash for Chiefs in preseason victory
Former Wildcat J J Smith, unsigned free agent turned Chiefs backfield hopeful, delivered a 50 yard punt return for a touchdown and two 28 yard kickoff returns in Kansas City's 37 21 win over Washington at Arrowhead. Smith, a Kansas State career rushing leader, claimed this home field dream as his own, expressing pride as he sought a roster spot amid injury to Tamarick Vanover and a crowded backfield. His big return came after Washington punted from its own three, with Smith seizing a clearing, but he mishandled the ball briefly before reclaiming it and gifting it to his mother amid a cheering crowd.
