It’s not often you find a potential star in an undrafted free agent, but we’ve seen it happen before—most notably in Emmitt Thomas for the Kansas City Chiefs. It looks like the Chiefs may have found another diamond in the rough.
Inside linebacker Ben Niemann was one of the most interesting undrafted free agents of 2018, and the Iowa product has continued to prove himself both in training camp and the Chiefs’ first two preseason games.
In the preseason loss against the Houston Texans, Niemann led the team with 5 tackles. That’s pretty impressive if you ask me, especially considering the defensive struggle that was apparent in week 1 of the preseason.
