Former Chiefs QB Alex joined the Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday to discuss a myriad of topics ranging from Tom Brady’s unretirment to the Chiefs trading Tyreek Hill last week.

Flat out, you’re not going to replace him,” Smith told Eisen. “There is literally only one Tyreek Hill in the whole NFL. He is that kind of difference-maker. I was fortunate enough to play my last two years there in Kansas City with him. Honestly, when he’s on the field, defenses play differently. He opens up so many other players around him because everybody is so fearful.”

Smith retired after the 2020 season after returning from a serious leg injury that he suffered in 2018. Smith quarterbacked the Chiefs from 2013-2018 and brought the franchise its first playoff win 22 years back in 2016.
