DT Braxton Hoyett
Back in October of 2019, the Chiefs signed Hoyett to their practice squad. He previously had spent time with the Tennessee Titans but didn’t make it through 53-man roster cuts. He’d stick on the practice squad in Kansas City through Super Bowl LIV and he’d sign a reserve/future deal to return to the team in 2020.
The Chiefs are set to carry three big-bodied run-stuffing defensive tackles on the roster in Derrick Nnadi, Mike Pennel and Khalen Saunders. It’s hard to believe that they’ll keep another similar type of player around if they’re forced to trim down their rosters. Devaroe Lawrence and Tershawn Wharton both can defend the run and offer more upside as pass rushers.
