It was believed that he was draft eligible this year but actually the NFL said he was draft eligible last year and is now a free agent. So he can sign with anyone.
There’s this story from two years ago of Cowboys tight end Jason Witten going to a VCU game and telling Alie-Cox that he has a football body — 6’7 and 250 pounds.
You've got a football body, Witten told Alie-Cox. Not to mention huge hands, he added, stretching his own digits — hardened and calloused by a dozen seasons in the NFL — for a palm-to-palm comparison. You could get an invite to an NFL training camp just based on how you look out of pads, Witten said.
"He told me I could make the transition to football," Alie-Cox said. "He said if it's something I wanted to do I should look into it."
The Chiefs have two college basketball players on their roster already and both are tight ends - Demetrius Harris and Ross Travis. Chiefs GM John Dorsey is turning over every stone.
