\"After<\/p>\n

Entering the 2025 season, one of the biggest questions facing the Kansas City Chiefs was about the young players who would occupy the left side of the offensive line. At left tackle, the team would start rookie Josh Simmons \u2014 and at left guard, inexperienced second-year player Kingsley Suamataia would take over for veteran Joe Thuney.<\/p>\n

While their performance has immediate consequences, their long-term development is also crucial to the team\u2019s future. Now that center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith are locked into expensive long-term contracts, the left side of Kansas City\u2019s line needs to be an affordable one that is built through the draft.<\/p>\n

So after two games, let\u2019s evaluate where they stand.<\/p>\n

Good stuff by the Chiefs young OL on the left side. Simmons uses a jump set (good lunge while not getting too far over toes) to get the edge to widen rush path.
