Veach presented as GM amid questions about predecessor

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) While the Kansas City Chiefs held a news conference Monday to present the seventh general manager in team history, much of the attention was on who no longer holds that position.

Wearing a black suit with a bright red tie, red socks and shoes, Brett Veach was officially announced for a job he actually got July 10 when word leaked he would be promoted from within.

The former co-director of player personnel began his career in professional football as an intern with the Eagles when current Chiefs coach Andy Reid was in charge in Philadelphia.
