Things haven’t always been smooth for Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Alex Smith.
The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft spent eight tumultuous seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before being traded to the Chiefs before the 2013 season.
Through these challenges, Smith has developed the kind of demeanor that’s critical for the leadership position that he currently finds himself.
So when things didn’t go necessarily as planned to start the 2015 season, Smith’s unwavering temperament was perfect for a Chiefs offense with plenty of young players looking to their veteran leader on how to react and move forward.
