Kansas City Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck spoke with reporters before practice on Thursday, praising Kingsley Suamataia’s improvement in the left guard position.
“I think Kingsley (Suamataia) is doing a lot of things really well and just like all of us every time we turn on a practice, every time we turn on a game tape we find stuff, ‘hey we got to work on this, we got to get better at that,’ and he’s no exception.” said Heck, “He’s working on things like staying more square in the pocket, but I would say he is giving us good physical play. He’s been adapting to that left guard position very well. I’m very encouraged about what I’m seeing out of him.”

The former second-round draft pick has continued to grow in his role since transitioning from tackle to guard in the offseason. He, alongside rookie left tackle Josh Simmons, is the young nucleus the Chiefs want to rely on from the left side for years to come.
