The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing a former draft pick in free agency.
As announced by his agency, SportsTrust Advisors, Derrick Nnadi is set to re-sign with the Chiefs. A former 2018 third-round draft pick out of Florida State, Nnadi has spent the last four seasons as the primary run-stuffing defensive tackle in Kansas City. He’s appeared in 75 games (incl. playoffs) over those four seasons, starting a total of 60 games for the team.
In 2021, Nnadi is coming off of one of his better seasons as a professional, recording 38 total tackles, two tackles for loss, three sacks and five quarterback hits. He’s set to re-sign with the Chiefs on a one-year deal.
