“Whoever 88 is, I do not understand who he is, however he much better see himself,” Smith stated. “He did a little slick push … I have no concept who he is however I will see him when I see him.”
Hendershot remains in his very first season with Kansas City after being obtained in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 27. He did not play in Thursday’s video game due to a coach’s choice and is presently noted as the No. 4 tight end on the depth chart.
Smith is a significant element on the Ravens’ defense and revealed it Thursday night. He tape-recorded 7 deals with and snagged an interception, showing to be a challenging force for Mahomes and the Chiefs offense.
This follows a 2023 season in which he had 158 takes on, 1.5 sacks, one interception and made a first-team All-Pro choice. He is a driver for a Ravens defense that is among the more polished in the league.
Need to the Ravens and Chiefs reunite in the playoffs, Smith will unquestionably have Hendershot on his mind.
