The Kansas City Chiefs have made an addition along the offensive line in free agency.
According to a report from Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs are set to sign former Washington Commanders and Houston Texans OT Geron Christian. A former third-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of the University of Louisville, Christian started eight games in Houston last season, playing 560 snaps at left tackle and 28 snaps at right tackle. In total, Christian has appeared in 38 career games with sixteen starts since entering the NFL back in 2018.
Last season, Christian allowed just one sack and 17 pressures in 14 games played. The season prior he allowed 6 sacks and 24 pressures while playing 395 snaps at left tackle for Washington per Pro Football Focus. There are clear signs of improvement in his game, but one area of concern is run-blocking, which graded out as a career-low 39.6 in 2021.
