Chiefs OL Trey Smith talks about team culture under Andy Reid: ‘They let us be ourselves’

The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated to start the season and have found various ways to win. Each player spent their bye week in different ways to stay motivated for the stretch run.

Chiefs right guard Trey Smith recently appeared on the Everything Orange podcast to discuss the franchise’s culture under head coach Andy Reid.

“Our team culture is so unique, Coach Reid; every time we break it down Saturday before our games in the hotel, he always says, ‘Hey, don’t forget, let your personalities show.’ They let us be ourselves in that building.” said Smith. “I think that’s so important. We’re having fun out there. Obviously, we’re grown men who are trying to get a job done. But at the end of the day, we know we’re having fun beating up people. We’re going to have fun doing it every single time. It’s really special.”

Since Reid took over as head coach, the Chiefs have maintained a winning mindset rooted in preparation. Smith remains an essential part of the offensive line, earning a reputation for being part of the best interior group in the league.
