Ronald Leary
There are few people out there who are more knowledgeable on offensive line play than Duke Manyweather. The choice he’d make for the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency is former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos OG Ron Leary.
No doubt about it, @BigLeary65 would be a great fit in KC at RG https://t.co/x33ow7WI85

Leary started 12 games for the Broncos at right guard last season, allowing one sack and finishing with a 58.4 overall grade per Pro Football Focus. Injuries have obviously been the biggest concern for Leary as he hasn’t played a full season since 2013. In 2017 and 2018, Leary finished the season on injured reserve in Denver with a back injury and torn Achilles respectively. Leary did come out and say in March that he currently feels healthier than he has in a couple of years.
Preciate it Joe. Been banged up. Honestly can say healthiest I’ve been the last 2 years. @BigDuke50 getting me right https://t.co/MxD4s1x3WQ

Some of Leary’s best years in the league was in a predominantly zone-blocking scheme, so from a schematic standpoint, he’s certainly a fit. We’ll see if Kansas City gives him a call in the coming weeks.
