The first known candidate has emerged for the Chiefs’ now-vacant general manager position, as the club has reached out to ESPN analyst Louis Riddick about the job, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Riddick, 48, has spent the last four years as a football analyst at ESPN, but he has a history with Chiefs coach Andy Reid, which should not come as a surprise. He spent five years in Philadelphia’s front office alongside Reid, starting out as a scout in 2008 before being promoted to the director of pro personnel in 2010, a position he held until 2013.
