7 Chiefs to watch if OTAs were beginning this week

If the Chiefs were beginning OTAs this week, these are the players we’d tell you to keep an eye on.

LB Darius Harris

Harris lost his rookie season to a shoulder injury that kept him on the NFI list. This is an undrafted free agent from the 2019 class who received high praise from Chiefs general manager Brett Veach. He believed that if he were healthy he would have been drafted and he even tabbed him as a future starter in the NFL.

Kansas City added Willie Gay Jr. in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and I fully expect him to take the remaining starting spot in the Chiefs’ lineup. So where does Harris fit? I think he’ll be competing with guys like Dorian O’Daniel and Ben Niemann for a spot on the 53-man roster with his primary contributions coming on special teams.
