The Kansas City Chiefs selected Oregon linebacker Jeff Bassa in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. A four-year starter for the Ducks, Bassa was an All-Pac 12 performer as the weak-side linebacker.
The Chiefs have their three starting linebackers slotted, but Bassa will have a chance to come in as a rookie and provide quality depth while also contributing on special teams.
Player profile
Bassa entered Oregon as a safety but quickly became a linebacker during his freshman season. He would play this position for the next four seasons and was highly productive during his time in Eugene.
