Alex Smith was introduced to the Kansas City media today out at Arrowhead Stadium.
We are hard at work on a few stories framing what was said by GM John Dorsey, head coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs’ new QB himself, Alex Smith.
In the meantime, here are some of the highlights, courtesy of the Arrowhead Addict Twitter account. Enjoy!
