Former IU TE protects Mahomes and pushes Roquan Smith

Former Tri-West High School and IU tight end Peyton Hendershot caught the eye of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith in Thursday’s game.

After Smith made contact with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of bounds early in the fourth quarter, Hendershot, who was not in uniform, approached Smith and shoved him. There was more pushing, shoving and yelling before order was restored.

After the match, Smith said: “Whoever 88 is, I don’t know who he is, but he better watch out… I’ll see him when I see him.”

The Dallas Cowboys traded Hendershot to the Chiefs on trade day. Protecting Mahomes is certainly a good way to gain a little more job security.
