- Alex Smith to serve as drum honoree for Week 1, Chiefs vs. Broncos
The Kansas City Chiefs have chosen former quarterback Alex Smith as their drum honoree for the regular-season opener at Arrowhead Stadium against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
The former top overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft earned three Pro Bowl appearances in Kansas City . The Chiefs traded for Smith in the 2013 offseason, and Andy Reid named him the starter shortly after he took over as head coach. In five seasons as the starter in Kansas City, Smith won 50 games and threw for over 17,000 yards and 102 touchdowns against 33 interceptions.
Smith accumulated 41 wins in his first four seasons with the Chiefs, setting a franchise record for a quarterback during that time period. He spoke recently with Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. about the Chiefs heading into the 2026 season. He currently serves as an NFL analyst for ESPN and continues to follow and discuss the game after retirement.
