Chiefs *****The Kingsley Suamataia Thread***** - Page 54

More to come!

Man!!!! I love Andy Reid. The @Chiefs and Andy Reid are offensive line savants. Kingsley Suamataia has big time potential. I think he he can be awesome guard or tackle. Just needs a little technique work. He is an aggressive killer who is great athlete.

Kingsley Suamataia is a versatile offensive tackle who split his 1,300 career snaps at BYU almost exactly down the middle between left and right tackle.

My favorite line from Dane Brugler's draft guide: "He delivers more pancakes than Denny's" ��

Kingsley Sumataia | OT | BYU

Traitsy OT w/ great size+athleticism+strengt. Easy range in the run game to pull or climb to landmarks or hit set points in slide. Patient hand usage to stay square and trust his lateral agility. Pad level & overall technique should develop in NFL. pic.twitter.com/p9zOJEuMkr

Why? He's got damn near prototypical measurables for an elite LT and was available at 64. There were reasons for that. Dude is greener than a pepper tree and needs development time.

Now, why they started then benched him after a poor showing on an island against a top EDGE I don't get.

My theory is that the Chiefs didn't have a game-breaking Edge rusher who could show his flaws in training camp, then he runs into Trey Hendrickson and the top got blown off with his old bad habits.

He would do just fine, like Morris is, against mid competition.
