In just a few hours there will be eight rookie Kansas City Chiefs in uniform against the Baltimore Ravens. They range from first round draft picks to undrafted free agents out of Maine.
Yes, Maine. The Chiefs brass searched long and hard in the rookie acquisition process this offseason.
Here are the new Kansas City Chiefs today:
- Tyson Jackson
- Alex Magee
- Donald Washington
- Quinten Lawrence
- Jake O'Connell
- Ryan Succop
- Jovan Belcher
- Pierre Walters
In addition to those on the 53 man roster, six rookies make up the Chiefs practice squad.
It's conceivable to imagine that all eight of those rookies will get into the game in some fashion.
It's about three and a half hours to game time as of this posting.
