Born in War-Torn Liberia, New WR Jehu Chesson Has Similar Path as Tamba Hali

The newest Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, Michigan’s Jehu Chesson, who was selected in the fourth round (No. 139 overall) after the Chiefs traded up again Saturday—has a story and path that’s similar to veteran outside linebacker Tamba Hali.

Chesson, like Hali, was born in the war-torn county of Liberia.

And also like Hali, Chesson’s father moved to the United States before the rest of his family with the hopes of creating a better life for them. He moved to St. Louis as part of a foreign exchange student program.
