Kansas City Chiefs: Undrafted free agents and their roster chances
By Grant Tuttle
Tejan Koroma, OL, Brigham Young
I could not find much on Koroma, but from what I did find, I was not super impressed. Currently, I believe he is more of a project than Khalil McKenzie. Koroma shows very good nastiness and upper-body strength, but his footwork and fundamentals leave quite a bit to be desired.
Chance of making the roster: Poor
The highest tier that Koroma could potentially find would be on the practice squad. To me, he doesn’t really look like a pro-level player.
Blake Mack, TE, Arkansas State
Ah, Arkansas State. Another small school that YouTube has little film on. However, from what I could find, Mack looks athletic. That’s about the extent of it. He looks more like a big bodied wide receiver than a tight end. In fact, most of the plays that I found with him, he was split out wide like a receiver. He really doesn’t seem like a dominant player. He has a solid set of skills that almost entirely have to do with athleticism. He is definitely not a blocker from what I could see.
Chance of making the roster: Poor
With the off-season additions of Jace Amaro, Tim Wright, and Alex Ellis, and with the Chiefs unreasonable love for Demetrius Harris, Mack’s chance of making the roster decrease immensely. While I would love to see Kansas City depart with Harris, his replacements would probably be Amaro and Wright, instead of Blake Mack.
Ryan Hunter, OL, Bowling Green
Ryan Hunter is one of many offensive linemen that the Kansas City Chiefs decided to bring in to training camp. Hunter is from Bowling Green University, but spent time playing in Canada. Hunter is a big man standing 6’3 and weighing 316 pounds. He plays like he is a big guy. In limited film, I saw a very powerful lineman, who seemed more suited as a guard. He shows flashes of quickness and agility, which is not necessarily common for a 316 pound guy. I like Hunter more than the other linemen that the Chiefs are taking a look at as undrafted free agents.
Chance of making the roster: Fair
While Hunter does not show a ton of speed getting to the next level in the running game, he shows pretty good fundamentals as a blocker. His biggest issue may be consistency as he can, at times, look out of place. However, with a little NFL coaching, Hunter could be a serviceable lineman in the National Football League.
