During a recent episode of ESPN’s NFL Live show, Louis Riddick shared his feedback on the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ 2025 draft class. He focused much of his attention on their seventh-round selection, Brashard Smith.<\/p>\n

“Keep an eye on Brashard Smith, he is an Alvin Kamara clone with 4.3 speed. They have got a lot of things going on right now in Kansas City,” said Riddick, “they may have addressed their issues as good as anybody.”<\/p>\n

Kamara was named the NFL Rookie of the Year, a Pro Bowler in his first five NFL seasons, and a two-time second-team All-Pro. He became the Saints<\/a>‘ All-Time leading rusher. Riddick, who has a reputation for evaluating talent, highly praises Smith’s comparison to Kamara.<\/p>\n

After a playing career in the NFL, Riddick became a pro scout for the Washington Redskins for four years, eventually getting promoted to Director of Pro Personnel. He next joined the Philadelphia Eagles as a pro scout and became their Director of Pro Personnel. He has since served as one of the top analysts on ESPN’s NFL coverage.<\/p>\n

Last season, Smith earned Third-team Associated Press All-American All-Purpose and First-team All-ACC honors with SMU. He led the team with 1,332 rushing yards on 235 carries and 14 rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
