You cant leave Nebraska without knowing all the right techniques and knowing how to win.

"I dont feel any extra pressure. I could always rush the passer. You just get more chances to do that in the pros." Kansas City General Manager Jim Schaaf said he was delighted with picking Smith. "We're excited about the prospects he brings to our club," Schaaf said. "We identified early that a pass rusher was one of our top needs, and we feel we've gotten that with Neil Smith." The Chiefs had just 26 quarterback sacks last season and ranked next to last in the NFL in defense.

Smith had 12 tackles behind the line and seven quarterback sacks last season with Nebraska. "This was our top player to choose, and we didnt want to sit back and wait" Schaaf said. Smith was rated as the top pass rusher in the draft after he posted one of the fastest 40-yard dash times (4.59) ever for a lineman of his size. His performance in the East-West All-Star game in Japan, which earned him the defensive Most Valuable Player Award, also caught the attention of many pro scouts.
