The Kansas City Chiefs have football royalty in attendance at their training camp practice this morning.
Former No. 1 overall pick and Chiefs legend Alex Smith was seen walking to the field with his former teammate Travis Kelce in St. Joseph and is set to observe drills beside Andy Reid, who helped revive his career in Kansas City between 2013 and 2017.
Smith, who is widely credited with having had an influential role in the early development of Patrick Mahomes, was a key part of Reid’s rebuild of the Chiefs in the mid-2010s, leading Kansas City to a 50-26 record in five years as a starter.
Check out this picture of Smith walking with Kelce to the practice field on Tuesday morning, which was posted by FOX 4 Sports Anchor Harold R. Kuntz on Twitter:

The Chiefs already had a high-profile visitor at Missouri Western State University last week when disgraced Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden sat in on practices before Kansas City’s first preseason game.
Stay tuned to see if Smith’s time at Chiefs training camp is a one-day affair or a week-long reunion.
