Days until Chiefs football, we are 'Trey Smith' days away

With 65 days remaining until the Kansas City Chiefs kick off their season against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football in Week 1, attention is on the club’s No. 65 jersey tradition. The number has been worn by two-time Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith since he was drafted in 2021. The piece also situates Smith among other Chiefs players who have worn No. 65, listing Jon Gilliam (1961–1967), Tom Condon (1974–1984), Jordan Black (2004–2006), and Ryan Lilja (2010–2012). It notes that Patrick Mahomes recorded 65 touches last season, ranking fifth on Kansas City. Mahomes rushed 64 times and was credited with one reception for minus-10 yards in the team’s official stat book. The article links the touch volume to recovery from a knee injury suffered last season, noting only Drake Maye scrambled more times among NFL quarterbacks during the regular season.
