No position group on the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster feels as stocked for 2023 as linebacker. In consecutive years, the team has drafted Willie Gay Jr., Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal — and then, in this offseason, added former Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Drue Tranquill.
While this makes it more difficult for another linebacker to earn a spot on the team’s 53-man roster, it’s not impossible. Last year, the team used five linebackers, including Darius Harris and Elijah Lee, on game days. Neither is returning this season.
For 2023, two of Kansas City’s undrafted free agent signings are intriguing linebacker prospects: Cam Jones from Indiana and Isaiah Moore from North Carolina State.
