The Kansas City Chiefs drafted one of the more versatile offensive linemen in the entire draft. Hunter Nourzad, an offensive lineman from Penn State, was drafted by the Chiefs on day three and is being considered a guy who can be a real contributor in terms of depth. The biggest reason why is his versatility.
Really, Nourzad is capable of playing every single position. However, when you look at the graphic the Kansas City Chiefs posted when they drafted him, he is being announced as a center. I have a feeling he may see some work at every position.
The Chiefs rookie minicamp started on Saturday, May 4. This allowed the media a chance to see some of these players in drills, where, really, it doesn’t matter how they perform because they are just drills. However, we do know that Andy Reid’s camps will be hard, and they only make the players better.
“I haven’t really been told anything about it. I was told to be ready to come to work,” Nourzad said. “That’s the main thing: be ready to come work hard, make sure I was in shape, and make sure I was running and stuff. That’s the only thing.”
If there is anything we know about rookie minicamp, it’s that the Chiefs will get a chance to see what they like and don’t like about certain players, so they can find out the best areas of development for that player. Nourzad needs to learn the playbook first, but learning more than one position will help him see the field more frequently. This strategic approach to player development instills confidence in the team’s management.
Right now, he’s excited to get back to football rather than school.
“I think it’s more a sense of excitement rather than freedom because football is the only thing I really love,” Nourzad continued. “Being able to just go back to that, being completely focused on, like you said, learning my playbook, getting to meet my teammates, getting out and doing drills and getting better. It’s really relieving.”
The Chiefs haven’t really had depth issues on the offensive line in some time, and it’s obvious that their recent drafts have shown they never want another situation like what happened in the Super Bowl to happen again. Nourzad is that Nick Allegretti prototype—he just wants to help the team win.
This minicamp may last only a few days, but the Chiefs are determined to get their guys right.
