Chiefs OTs Donovan Smith, Jawaan Taylor eager for fresh start

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Offensive tackles Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor are joining the Kansas City Chiefs at different points of their respective careers, Smith as an established veteran and Taylor as a younger player headed into his prime.

But both players are essentially with the Chiefs for the same reason. Each is looking for a fresh start, Smith after what statistically was the worst season of his eight-year career and Taylor for a life away from the only state he’s ever called home.

“New beginnings, new journey," said Smith, who played his whole career for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with the Chiefs in May.
