ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes couldn’t contain his excitement. He needed to sprint.
During team drills toward the latter half of Wednesday morning’s soddy practice, Chiefs seventh-round rookie back Brashard Smith took a handoff from reserve quarterback Gardner Minshew and burst through the line on an inside handoff before exploding to the left with a quick cut. From there, Smith was home free on a would-be 50-yard touchdown.
