NFL News: Andy Reid and Chiefs picked one of the best players in 2025 Draft according to a former Super Bowl champion

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs may have found one of the best players in the 2025 draft in Josh Simmons. That’s what Jason Kelce, former Super Bowl champion with the Eagles, said on his podcast New Heights.

“Big boy. I absolutely love this guy on tape. The way he moves reminds me a lot of some high level players. The way he bends. He’s big. He’s strong. He moves people. He’s an outstanding pass blocker.”

One of the key points for the Chiefs is strengthening their offensive line to protect Patrick Mahomes. Last season, it was their biggest problem, and now they have to deal with the loss of Joe Thuney, who was traded to Chicago.

Who did Chiefs draft?

The Kansas City Chiefs selected offensive tackle Josh Simmons in the first round of the 2025 Draft, and as Jason Kelce mentioned to his brother Travis during the podcast, a previous injury is what kept the Ohio State star from being picked much earlier.

“This was one of the biggest steals in the Draft. I’m not just saying that because they’re both our teams. I really think if Josh Simmons doesn’t tear his patellar tendon, he’s the first tackle off the board most likely. The fact that the Chiefs got him at 32 could be like unbelievable value if he comes back from the knee injury. We’re going to have to wait and see how this kid comes back from this injury.”
