We learned last month that Penn State tight end Theo Johnson formally met with the Kansas City Chiefs while at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
In total, the Chiefs have been connected to four different tight ends throughout this draft process (they also met with Texas’ Ja’Tavion Sanders, Iowa’s Erik All and Illinois’ Tip Reiman).
This is on top of signing Irv Smith Jr. in free agency last week. The Chiefs are doing their homework on finding their possible Travis Kelce replacement.
