Chiefs officially sign entire 2020 draft class

All of the rookies are officially under contract in Kansas City.

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced that they’ve signed their entire rookie draft class, a group that includes LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Mississippi State LB Willie Gay Jr., TCU OT Lucas Niang, Louisiana Tech CB L’Jarius Sneed, Michigan DE Mike Danna and Tulane CB BoPete Keyes.

At the onset of training camp, Yahoo Sports’ Terez Paylor reported that the Chiefs had agreed to terms verbally with each of their six draft picks. The team had to wait until after the players had passed their initial COVID-19 screening to get them in the building and actually signing their rookie contracts.

On Saturday, they all finally had a chance to put pen to paper and get their photos taken per contract-signing tradition.

Each of the players has likely agreed to a standard four-year contract, locking them to the Chiefs through the 2023 season. Edwards-Helaire will have the lone fifth-year option included as a first-round draft pick.
