Felix Aundike-Uzomah Selected 31st Overall
Kansas State football’s first round NFL Draft drought is officially over after 13 years, as the Kansas City Chiefs use the 31st, and final*, pick of the 1st round of the 2023 NFL Draft to select EDGE Felix Anudike-Uzomah.
Anudike-Uzomah is no stranger to the Chiefs, which makes this particular draft story even sweeter. The 6’4, 255lb terrorizing defensive end was born in Kansas City, MO, and lived there, eventually graduating from Lee’s Summit HS, until he chose to take a scholarship offer to Kansas State and moved to Manhattan. Not only did he grow up int he Chiefs backyard, but his selection was announced from Kansas City’s Union Station, home of the draft this season.
