Chiefs Reshape O-Line With Rookie Josh Simmons

News summary

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons with the 32nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, seeking to strengthen their offensive line after a Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles. Simmons, who began his college career at San Diego State, earned praise from former Eagles center Jason Kelce, who compared him to All-Pro Trent Williams for his strength and athleticism. Despite a knee injury that affected his draft stock, Simmons impressed at the NFL Combine and is expected to be ready for training camp. He will compete for the starting left tackle position as the Chiefs also added Jaylon Moore from the 49ers and traded away guard Joe Thuney in a broader offensive line reshuffle. Team veterans and coaches have expressed optimism about Simmons' professionalism and potential during offseason activities. The Chiefs hope these moves will help protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes and drive a return to postseason success.
