Andy Reid has a rare appreciation for good left tackle play. It comes naturally. As a former offensive tackle himself in college, Reid knows the ins and outs of the position and the importance of being able to protect the quarterback. As the Kansas City Chiefs head coach, he's also grateful for anyone who can keep Patrick Mahomes upright.
That's what makes Reid so glad to see Josh Simmons occupying the role of LT for the Chiefs these days. The team's first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft came into the league with a sparkling resume, and he's lived up to the buzz through the first two games of the season.
