The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated through seven games this season as they seek an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl. The front office added veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to help solidify their wide receiver depth, much to the appreciation of a former All-Pro receiver turned analyst.
On a recent episode of his ’89’ podcast with NFL Insider James Palmer, Steve Smith Sr. praised the Hopkins acquisition and his instant chemistry in the Chiefs’ offense.
“He’s been on the football field between his career in college and then the NFL, all the Pro Bowls, all the practices, all the old school training camp, the new school training camp. OTAs, I think he’ll be fine,” said Smith. “He’s playing with one of the smartest offensive-minded coaches known to mankind, named Andy Reid.”
Following various injuries, the multiple-time Pro Bowler will play a significant role in the Chiefs’ offense in the next few weeks. He was targeted three times and hauled in two catches in his debut without much practice time after his trade from the Tennessee Titans.
