Ex-Chiefs OL reviews Kingsley Suamataia’s film vs. Lions

The Kansas City Chiefs are using rookie tackle Kingsley Suamataia heavily during the preseason to prepare him for his first year in the NFL. The 2024 second-round pick is set to be a starter in Andy Reid’s offense this year, and has already shown flashes of brilliance in Kansas City’s exhibition matchups.

Suamataia got a lot of playing time this weekend in the Chiefs’ matchup against the Detroit Lions, and despite the a narrow 24-23 loss for Kansas City, the young tackle’s performance warranted a second look from an expert.

Retired NFL guard Geoff Schwartz, who spent the 2013 season with the Chiefs and started games for Kansas City, posted a breakdown of Suamataia’s latest showing on Twitter, and shared his thoughts about the rookie’s development:

As Schwartz noted, Suamataia still has room for improvement, but exhibits good judgment and footwork.

Expect to see some more plays from Suamataia in the Chiefs’ final preseason game on Thursday against the Chicago Bears.
