The son of Kansas City Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck knows what the expectations are at the pro level. Heck still has to battle for a roster spot, and gain the trust of offensive line coach Mike Devlin. However, the former North Carolina Tar Heel is going against Roderick Johnson, Kyle Murphy, and Brent Qvale for the swing tackle job. It will be a case of Heck’s youth versus their experience, and 2020 isn’t the optimal offseason for a rookie to be in that type of battle.
