Chiefs News: Ashton Gillotte helped fans with stalled van on Sunday
Key Points:
- The Kansas City Chiefs selected Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons with the last pick in the first round of the 2025 draft, aiming to strengthen their offensive line.
- Simmons showed promise as a blind side protector but was limited to eight games in his rookie season due to injuries and missed the first two games of the 2026 season with a back issue.
- Despite Simmons' absence, GM Brett Veach identified undrafted left tackle Kahlil Benson from Indiana, who impressed during the offseason.
- Benson earned the starting left tackle position for Week 1 of the 2026 season against the Denver Broncos, demonstrating the Chiefs' depth on the offensive line.
