The Kansas City Chiefs have always given undrafted free agents a fair shot to make the 53-man roster.
If you can play football at a high level, the coaching staff and front office won’t be overly concerned with draft status. The Chiefs have a history of finding diamonds in the rough every year in undrafted free agency.
