The Kansas City Chiefs are off to an ideal start to the regular season after defeating the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. The stars played well, and several rookies made their official NFL debuts.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared his thoughts on the Week 1 victory with reporters via Zoom on Monday. He also recapped the performance of rookie starting offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia.
“So I thought Kingsley (Suamataia) did some good things, some he’ll have plenty to work on going forward, but for his first time jumping in there, I guess (against) what I really think is a pretty good defensive line now,” said Reid. “So I thought he held his own, but there are things he’s got to work on and needs to get. He’s got another big challenge coming up this week, as does our whole offensive line.”
Suamataia was penalized in Thursday’s victory, but he is quickly adjusting to life as the starting left tackle. The former BYU standout has the coaches’ belief and trust as he progresses in his rookie season.
