Chiefs sign Lithuanian discus thrower who has never played football

The Kansas City Chiefs are leaving no stone unturned on the talent hunt. The team recently signed a Lithuanian discus thrower named Tautvydas Kieras, who goes by the nickname of TK. TK has never played a down of organized football in his life.

Why would the Chiefs sign a guy who has no experience actually playing football?

Because Kieras is an absolute monster.

TK is 6-3, 271 and after taking a liking to watching American football, he decided to take part in the Mississippi State University pro day. He ran an unofficial 4.69 40-yard dash, bench pressed 220 pounds 24 times and recorded a vertical of 35 inches.
