## Resource

EJ Smith, son of NFL legend Emmitt Smith, is making his mark as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs — despite a college career derailed by injuries. Grateful for the opportunity, he’s embracing the challenge, eager to carve his own path away from his father’s Hall of Fame legacy. Guided by a familiar face in running backs coach DeMarco Murray, who once recruited him, Smith is competing with rookies for a roster spot — and sees special teams as his best chance to shine. With grit, versatility, and relentless work ethic, he’s determined to earn his place through hustle, not hype. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
