How athletic is the Chiefs’ 2023 NFL draft class?

Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach is learning from his mistakes in his first draft class back in 2018 and continues to invest in athleticism in the NFL draft.

Veach’s latest draft class in 2023 is one of his most athletic yet. How do we know that it’s one of the most athletic classes? We have Kent Lee Platte to thank, also known as MathBomb on Twitter, the creator of Relative Athletic Score (RAS). This 10-point scale measures a prospect’s athletic ability based on their testing results during the pre-draft process (combine or pro day) in relation to the prospect’s size along with historical results from prospects who play the same position.

Here’s a quick look through at the RAS cards for all seven of the Chiefs’ draft picks in 2023, along with a few of their top undrafted free agents as a bonus:
