For rookie defensive tackle Keondre Coburn — selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round of last weekend’s NFL Draft — playing with elite talent is nothing new.
As a sophomore at Westfield High School near Houston — one of the top 6A programs in Texas — the future Texas Longhorn lined up next to now-Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver, the ninth selection of the 2019 draft from the University of Houston.
“Me and Ed both played at Westfield together,” Coburn recalled as he addressed reporters at the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp on Sunday.
