Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia only saw the field for one drive in his preseason debut. Does offensive coordinator Matt Nagy see anything left to prove before Week 1?
of the 2024 NFL Draft, the team's left tackle battle officially began. When the Chiefs declined to re-sign veteran left tackle Donovan Smith, choosing instead to let Suamataia battle second-year third-round pick Wanya Morris for the job, the rookie got closer to winning the job. Now, after one preseason game, is the Chiefs' starting O-line settled? Taking a look at Suamataia's usage begins to answer that question.
"It went good," Suamataia said. "I went against one of the best pass-rushers in the league, Josh -Allen, but he's a dog. I've watched him since I was in college and high school, so it was a great experience to get to, you know, 'I went against this guy, I belong here, I can play with these guys.' I can't wait for Detroit now. Just on to the next game now."
"Just staying in the playbook," Suamataia said. "Day-in and day-out, you can never study too much. Just making it a habit of mine, right before I go to bed, right as I wake up, just having that refresh in my mind so I can just go out there and play loose and free."
