KC Roster – Sharing Numbers

[Wilson8]

I assume when they bring in college free agents that they just assign them a number. Most of them won’t make the team anyways, so no big deal. They don’t double assign numbers of the better players though.

When you are a Chief sharing jersey numbers with someone else on the team, it means you are very low on the team hierarchy. Number assignments indicate Derrick Ross, Marcus Maxey, Jon McGraw, Tre Stallings, Rudy Niswanger, and Will Svitek are going to have to work their butts off to make the team.

I was in hopes that Svitek and Niswanger could get some playing time this year and show what they can do. I though maybe Maxey or Bragg might be the 4th or 5th corner. I projected Jon McGraw as our third safety. I also thought Derrick Ross might become our 3rd back. All of those things might happen, but if number assignments mean anything, they are going to have to fight for a position.
