The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t officially announced their undrafted free agent signings yet, but there are quite a few that have been reported.
Our friend Jeff Risdon of Draft Wire recently chose one undrafted free agent to watch for each NFL team. Chiefs fans would probably point to Tulsa RB Deneric Prince out of sheer need, but Risdon went the unexpected route and mentioned an intriguing player in the trenches.
His choice: Grand Valley State LT Quinton Barrow.
Barrow has the measurables at 6-5/335 with long arms and big hands, and he plays with a style that suggests more of a streetfight than a football game. He needs some technical polish and won’t ever be agile, but Barrow should make it as a reserve tackle/guard with some upside.
Barrow started 36 games for the Lakers since 2019. He earned First-Team All-GLIAC honors in 2021 and 2022. During the 2022 season, he was a consensus All-American and the GLIAC Offensive Lineman of the Year. With 34-inch arms, he can play both tackle and guard at the next level, but anchoring in pass protection will be a problem against some more powerful rushers.
The Chiefs do have some needs for reserve linemen on both the interior and outside. Barrow could prove to be a strong developmental candidate given his length, quickness and strength in the run game.
