Chris Oladokun suddenly has two weeks to prove he belongs in the NFL (and possibly reshape his career).
There is a famous saying: when one door closes, another door opens.
The door has closed on Kansas City’s playoff hopes and on the season for Chiefs quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew, but that has opened the door to an opportunity of a lifetime for Chris Oladokun.
After four years on the practice squad, Kansas City’s third-string quarterback has suddenly become the starter, and now he will have a golden chance to play his way onto an NFL roster for next season, an opportunity that few perennial depth players get.
