Dorsey is coming from the Green Bay Packers where he was the director of football operations. He is the third Packers executive in as many years to get a GM job following Reggie McKenzie to Oakland and John Schneider to Seattle.
He had four tenures in Green Bay (via the Packers website): first as a player (1984-89); second as a college scout (1991-1997) and director of college scouting (1997-98); third as director of college scouting (2000-2012); and fourth as the current director - football operations (2012-present).
Dorsey is replacing GM Scott Pioli, who was fired on Friday, January 4.
Take a look at the draft picks Dorsey was involved in with the Packers.
Dorsey will be introduced by the Chiefs at a press conference on Monday at 2 p.m. (Arrowhead Time).
