Speaking to Zolak and Bertrand on Boston's 98.5 - the flagship station for the Patriots - on Tuesday, the 26-year-old explained his decision behind leaving Patrick Mahomes to play under the head coach with the second-best record in NFL history.
'To be honest, it was Belichick, man,' he said. 'Just the want and the need. And, you know, the position that I can fill there really, really, really caught my attention.
'And I felt that like that was the [biggest] thing, feeling wanted in a place where I've played against a head coach I have a lot of respect for. And I just think that that goes a long way.'
Once he plays his first game in Foxborough in September, Smith-Schuster will have played for Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin, the Kansas City Chiefs' Andy Reid and the head coach with the most Super Bowl titles in NFL history. All three are likely to inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, one day.
