Chiefs draft picks 2013: Eric Kush is a great name, and other reactions

The KC Chiefs sixth round pick was a surprise: Eric Kush, center out of California (PA). Like you, I don't know anything about him. The reactions to the pick though ... well, they were just a bunch of marijuana jokes. Kush is another term for marijuana, you see.

Last time @kcchiefs drafted an @ncaadii player in the 5th round, it was @bcarr39. Probably means Eric Kush is going to be a stud!

Sideline View: Kush is a little-known center from California, PA. who was injured in the East/West practices so he's flying under the radar. His foot quickness is unreal. He can make reach blocks than some NFL centers can't dream of. He'll probably go in the 5th round.

I'm just pissed Eric Kush plays center.Wish he was a guard.OG Kush.

The amount of marijuana references I make during training camp about Eric Kush will be staggering. #Chiefs

Eric Kush likely won't be a starter for the #Chiefs this year but he can provide depth at OG and C, while learning the system more
