In a recent episode of the\u00a0New Heights Podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the older brother shared information that Chiefs fans will love to hear.<\/p>\n

At the end of the first round of the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft, the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0drafted an offensive tackle from the national championship squad, the Ohio State Buckeyes.<\/p>\n

KC picked Josh Simmons 32nd overall after the Chiefs traded down with the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN ranked Simmons the 3rd-ranked OT and 24th overall player.<\/p>\n

He ended up as the fourth tackle drafted, and he should be\u00a0cleared to return to activities around August.<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce mentioned that he believes Simmons\u00a0has the chance to be the steal of the draft for the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Simmons is recovering from a patella tendon injury suffered in the loss against Oregon in the regular season, and that played a big part in him falling in the first round.<\/p>\n

Kelce mentioned on the podcast that he believes Simmons would have been the top tackle drafted if it hadn’t been for the injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s one of the guys I actually watched a little bit,\u201d Kelce said on the podcast. \u201cI absolutely love this guy on tape. The way he moves reminds me a lot of some high-level players. The way he bends and plays with his butt low to the ground. His arms only say 33, but he feels like he\u2019s got much bigger length than that. He is big, he\u2019s strong, he moves people, he\u2019s an outstanding pass blocker. This and the Eagles’ first-round picks were two of the biggest steals in the draft. I\u2019m not just saying that because they\u2019re both our teams. I really think if Josh Simmons doesn\u2019t tear his patella tendon, he\u2019s the first tackle off the board. The fact that the Chiefs got him at 32 could be like unbelievable value if he comes back from the knee injury.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Before his time at Ohio State, Simmons started 13 games at right tackle for his hometown team, San Diego State<\/p>\n

. He then transferred to Ohio State, where he started 19 games at left tackle. The San Diego native has shown versatility with the ability to play both tackle positions.<\/p>\n

Simmons will have an opportunity to start and compete against Jaylon Moore, whom the Chiefs signed earlier in the offseason. Jawaan Taylor will likely keep his role at right tackle.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
