Arrowheadlines: Chiefs new DT, Ravens and Aaron Murray

Chiefs sign defensive lineman Roy Miller | The Kansas City Star

Miller is a short, squat interior run stopper who, at his best, gets off the snap quickly, gives solid effort and often lines up as a tilted nose against the center. He posted a career-high in sacks (four) and tackles for loss (six) as recently as 2015, and will add some depth to a group that includes projected starters Allen Bailey and Bennie Logan and Jones.

“I was with Kansas City” as a prospective fullback, Pitre said, during training camp in 2008 before missing the cut and eventually retiring before his NFL career got off the ground from the effects of a lingering, devastating knee injury. He called the experience of returning to the Chiefs and working with his former UCLA running backs coach Eric Bienemy, who was also the coach when he was a graduate assistant at Colorado, “a little surreal.”

Pitre spent a week as part of the NFL’s Minority Coach Intern program, which brings primarily college coaches into training camps to work and learn.
