Start time announced for Kansas’ homecoming game at Arrowhead Stadium

Check out this key information about the Kansas #Jayhawks’ homecoming football game against the Houston Cougars at Arrowhead Stadium.

When the Kansas City Chiefs head to California for a Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas Jayhawks will take the defending champions’ place at Arrowhead Stadium to play their homecoming game against the Houston Cougars.

The Jayhawks have fallen well short of expectations to start their 2024 season, and are still reeling after a brutal 35-31 loss to Arizona State last week in Tempe.

Kansas will have the benefit of a bye week to assess the damage and make much-needed adjustments ahead of their matchup against the Cougars on October 19.

On Monday, Kansas Football’s official Twitter account announced the start time for the Jayhawks’ second game at Arrowhead:

Now halfway through the season, Kansas is desperately hoping to turn things around in search of their third-straight bowl game.

If speedy quarterback Jalon Daniels can avoid crucial turnover mistakes and running back Devin Neal can continue to perform at an elite level against Houston, the Jayhawks may be able to get out of Kansas City with a win.

Estimated times for Chiefs’ first-round draft picks

When will the #Chiefs be on the clock during the first round of the 2022 NFL draft? Find the estimated start times here:

Round 1 of the 2022 NFL draft is set to kick off on Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. CT.

The Kansas City Chiefs have two picks in the first round of the draft, but they won’t be picking anytime close to the start time. Both of the Chiefs’ first-round picks come back-to-back in the latter half of the draft. Outside of a trade scenario where the team is moving up in the draft, Chiefs fans will be spending a good portion of the night waiting for other teams to make their selections en route to the bottom of the first round.

In the first round, each team gets 10 minutes on the clock before they need to turn in their selection. If a team doesn’t make a selection in the allotted amount of time, they essentially forfeit their draft slot to the following team and make a selection one pick later. Albeit it rare circumstance, this has happened before and as recently as 2011 with the Baltimore Ravens. In the case of the Chiefs, this shouldn’t be something they need to worry about seeing as they pick back-to-back in Round 1.

Below you’ll find estimated times for when K.C. will be on the clock for each of their two first-round draft slots should things go according to schedule. These estimations are based on pick times from the 2021 NFL draft, when the Packers picked Eric Stokes and the Bills picked Gregory Rousseau.

Round 1, Pick No. 29: 10:40 p.m. CT.

Round 1, Pick No. 30: 10:50 p.m. CT.
