What Chiefs are getting in new C Daniel Kilgore in 3 plays

Get to know the newest offensive linemen for the Kansas City Chiefs with these three plays.

Functional mobility

Kilgore probably doesn’t have the mobility of his 20-something counterparts in the Chiefs’ locker room. That’s okay, though, because he doesn’t need it to be effective.

He gets the job done, both working as a pulling blocker in the run game and as a lead blocker in the screen game. I really liked this particular cut block from Kilgore because it helped to wall off a lane for Myles Gaskin to run for a 10-plus yard gain and the first down.

In general, I feel like Kilgore is more effective as a blocker in the run game when he can get a full head of steam. The same goes for blocking in the screen game, he takes good angles and knows how to take defenders out of the play and give his guys a chance to make a play.
