It’s hard to imagine that the Kansas City Chiefs are in the market to add another running back to the fold after Jamaal Charles had a breakout season last year, and they signed former Jets featured back Thomas Jones to a two-year deal. But, there’s no harm in looking for a diamond in the rough, and it appears that the Chiefs have their eye on a runner in this year’s draft that’s off-the-radar, Arizona State’s Dimitri Nance.

Scout.com has learned that the Chiefs will hold a private workout with Nance on March 24th and host him in Kansas City for a visit on April 13th.
Primarily a backup during his career at Arizona State, Nance received his opportunity to be a featured back this past season and carried the ball 188 times for 795 yards and six touchdowns. The 5-foot-11, 224-pound Nance played in 45 games, starting 18 of them with the Sun Devils. Nance participated in the East-West Shrine Game this offseason, but wasn’t invited to the Scouting Combine. He will try to impress scouts at Arizona State’s Pro Day on March 26th, two days after he’s scheduled to work out for the Chiefs.

BRANDEN ALBERT

Albert did not have the greatest of seasons in this year’s rankings. His overall ranking was in the bottom 20 percent among offensive tackles in the league. He gave up seven sacks and 18 QB pressures playing left tackle. He was also guilty of being called for 13 penalties—that was more than any tackle in football.

I think a lot of the problem with Albert was that he played hurt. He started the year injured but was still willing to play. One would have to wonder if that in any way hindered his performance. I believe it did.

Albert is too gifted to not succeed at that position. We have not seen Albert at his best.

As a straight-ahead run blocker, at the line, he has average strength. It’s when he’s on the move that he is most dangerous.

Kansas City Chiefs: An Offensive Line Analysis-Bleacher Report

Projected as a likely first-round pick in next month’s draft, Weatherspoon had a private workout with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday in Columbia, meeting with General Manager Thomas Dimitroff, Coach Mike Smith and defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder — the same core responsible for selecting Missouri safety William Moore in the second round of last year’s draft.

The Falcons put Weatherspoon through a series of linebacker-oriented drills and tested his knowledge of different defensive plays and coverages.

Weatherspoon said he has a visit with the Kansas City Chiefs scheduled for the end of the month and has been in talks with the New Orleans Saints about visiting the Super Bowl champs.
