Texas A&M running back EJ Smith will sign with the Kansas City Chiefs after going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Smith began his collegiate career at Stanford, where he redshirted his freshman year. In his third season as a Cardinal and first as a starter, Smith missed the final 10 games of the season with an undisclosed injury, granting him a second redshirt. He was averaging 103 rushing yards per game, 31.5 receiving yards per game, and 2 touchdowns from scrimmage over his injury-shortened junior season.
After graduating with a top-tier education, Smith transferred to Aggieland for his final two collegiate years. He was stuck behind star RB Le’Veon Moss and Rueben Owens for both of his seasons at Texas A&M, but he was an excellent depth piece in an injury-prone backfield.
He rushed for 207 yards in 2024 and 205 in 2025, even though he received a 19% drop in carries in his final year as an Aggie. He averaged 4.7 yards per attempt and scored 4 TDs.
Smith is the son of Hall of Fame RB Emmett Smith.
