"Then after that, they started putting me in a four-point, three-point [stance], so I started looking at Aaron Donald. I've always had a love for the quarterback. That's my best friend. I live in the backfield." #Chiefs UDFA DL Tershawn "Turk" Wharton

| 5 | Tershawn Wharton |
There aren’t any holdout fears for Chris Jones anymore after he signed a four-year extension with Kansas City. Even after that news broke, I was thinking about supplementing this group with another defensive tackle. When they ran into injury troubles at this position in 2019, they struggled to find someone who could produce interior pressure like Jones did.
After hearing a bit about the player from the guy who has trained him the past two seasons, I did a bit more background on Tershawn Wharton and I’m seriously impressed. From a physical standpoint, he’s built like a guy who has been in the league for several years and not your average undrafted free agent. If he can get into the playbook and compete against the guys in training camp — remember he played for Missouri S&T — he could be a bigtime surprise to make the roster. You’ll see on the next page that he’s already impressed Brendan Daly, along with another defensive lineman.
