Chiefs officially sign entire 2021 draft class

The Chiefs have made it official, signing their entire draft class ahead of rookie minicamp.

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced that they’ve signed their entire rookie draft class, a group that includes Missouri LB Nick Bolton, Oklahoma C Creed Humphrey, Florida State EDGE Joshua Kaindoh, Duke TE Noah Gray, Clemson WR Cornell Powell and Tennessee G Trey Smith.

A report came in earlier that Bolton and Smith had already signed, but with the rookies arriving in Kansas City for minicamp, it was only a matter of time before the players officially signed their contracts with the team. On Thursday, they all finally had a chance to put pen to paper. Hopefully, soon we’ll get to see the traditional contract-signing photos

Each of the rookies agreed to a standard four-year contract, locking them to the Chiefs through the 2024 NFL season. Without a first-round draft pick, none of the players received a contract with a fifth-year option.
