The Kansas City Chiefs first-round selection of Kansas State’s Felix Anudike-Uzomah helped fill a hole on the defensive line. The pick also was close to home in every sense aside from the proximity of his college career.
Anudike-Uzomah starred at Lee’s Summit High School, earning all-district honors his final three seasons from the MFCA. He totaled 184 tackles, 55 for loss, and 13 sacks over his three-year career. His head coach, Eric Thomas, took to Twitter following Anudike-Uzomah’s selection to praise his former player for his perseverance and continued success.
