The Kansas City Chiefs needed to address their offensive line in the offseason following how poorly it performed throughout 2024’s campaign and especially in the playoffs. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked a career high 36 times in the regular season, and that doesn’t and shouldn’t fly.
After the Super Bowl LIX defeat, the world knew that an area Kansas City had to improve on was the offensive line. So they did. Going into the offseason, the Chiefs brought in veteran offensive lineman Jaylon Moore and took Josh Simmons out of Ohio State University with their first round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With Moore and Simmons joining the offensive line, alongside center Creed Humphrey, the newly extended Trey Smith and veteran Jawaan Taylor, the Chiefs have put together an impressive offensive line on paper. And it’s translated well from paper to the field.
