"“If you’re in that room, you’re part of this football team,” he said. “[General manager John Dorsey] spends a lot of hours looking at the guys, not only as players, but as people. So if we’ve invited you into that room, you’re going to be accepted and be a part of it.”"

Chiefs scouting report: Jake Fisher – Leigh Oleszczak of KC Kingdom

"Fisher played tight end and defensive lineman during his high school days and switched to an offensive lineman when he got to Oregon. He played right guard during his freshman year, right tackle his sophomore and junior years, and left tackle his senior year. He’s jumped from different positions along the offensive line, which will likely help his draft stock."
