The Kansas City Chiefs made their final selection on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, taking cornerback Nic Jones from Ball State University. By the time the Chiefs called him to give him the good news, Jones was considering what life would be like as an undrafted free agent.
“As it gets later in the draft, teams reach out, and they get to talking about, you know, what will happen if you slip all the way out,” he said on a Zoom call with the Kansas City media.
But all along the way, Jones remained in contact with the Chiefs — and specifically, Kansas City’s co-director of college scouting, Pat Sperduto.
