The Kansas City Chiefs lost their bid for a second-straight Super Bowl last season and there is no denying that a big reason why was because of injuries along their offensive line.

And there was no bigger loss to that unit than that of Mitchell Schwartz.

Widely regarded as the best RT in the NFL, Schwartz was the picture of durability, playing 7,849 snaps to start his career.
