KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Alex Smith has gone through hundreds off offseason workouts with Eric Berry, Justin Houston and Marcus Peters. Yet the Chiefs quarterback felt compelled to introduce himself Tuesday.
Call it some good-natured ribbing after the three defensive stars skipped voluntary workouts.
”Didn’t know if they’d forgotten us here,” Smith said with a grin. ”Been awhile.”
”He had a little smirk,” Berry said.
Smith has been around long enough to appreciate the voluntary nature of the three weeks of organized team activities. He also knows the three Pro Bowl-caliber players have a better sense than anybody what it takes to get ready for a season.
