A former Western Michigan offensive lineman landed a major job promotion on Monday, now tasked with keeping arguably the best quarterback in professional football upright. In fact, he’ll protect Patrick Mahomes’ blind side.

The Chiefs tried again to find their left tackle in free agency this year by signing Jaylon Moore, mostly a backup in his four NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. It's also not out of the question they could draft a candidate to start, though that seems unlikely in a draft thin at the position.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a two-pronged move involving Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones accounting for about $50 million in NFL free agency.
