The Kansas City Chiefs’ front office has an excellent track record of finding undervalued talent from the college ranks and may have assembled their best rookie class in years during the 2025 NFL draft.
While it remains to be seen how Kansas City’s rookies will fare next season, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach set his team up for success by making savvy selections on all three days of the draft last week.
According to Sports Data Analyst Daniel Griffis of Action News Jax, Kansas City’s 2025 rookie class is among the youngest in the NFL, with an average age of 22.14 years old.
Age isn’t necessarily an indicator of value or future success, but it may prove to be advantageous for the Chiefs to select younger prospects, given that Kansas City’s coaching staff generally tends to keep rookies on the sidelines in favor of veteran talent.
With their talented crop of first-year players, the Chiefs are fully reloaded for an attempt to secure a spot in Super Bowl LX.
