— The LIV Chiefs Kingdom (@1_ChiefsKingdom) April 25, 2020
We had Lucas Niang at #57 in the KC Draft Guide, so this is awesome valued. Played through a hip injury last year. This is definitely a guy earmarked to take over for one of the Chiefs tackles in the future. pic.twitter.com/a1P53sN9bL
New Chiefs OT/OG @Kbniang8 has some WILD college stats. He didn’t allow a single sack in 975 career pass blocking snaps. If that’s not impressive enough, he committed just 3 penalties on 1,982 career snaps.#NFLDraft | #Chiefs | #ChiefsKingdom

Can't believe this is a real post. Like what happened in their matchup 3-4 years ago in another level of football has any bearing on what happens this weekend. [Reply]

Andy Heck praised Niang this week and Niang has had Young's number in the past which means he at least has experience against Chase unlike Remmers. If you think he's getting benched then good for you bro..we'll see. [Reply]

Having a really good game 1 time in college 3 years ago isn't having someone's number :-)
All I know is that Niang is far from what we hoped we'd be at the beginning of the year. Remmers was better at RT last year than Niang is now. It would make sense to start the better player if they're in a "we might need to win out" mindset, which they should be. [Reply]

The line was great against Philly. This line needs to grow together..not put a jag in and disrupt what's been built over the last five weeks. [Reply]

They shouldn't replace Niang because his performance doesn't warrant being replaced, especially by a JAG who isn't going to improve. In no way is the OL the cause of the Chiefs' struggles. [Reply]
Imagine getting the job of your dreams, then telling them you aren't going to work the first year because you are afraid of Covid at 22 years old. That just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Certainly his choice and it shouldn't be used against him but as a fan I can think what I want.
Damien's situation made total sense, so he can be closer to his mom.
LDT situation also made sense, he used his skills to assist.
This ****er just watched a bunch of star wars movies and ate ice cream. [Reply]

Just wait until you see how much our run defense improves with Niang on the bench [Reply]

Was there ever an explanation given for Niang opting out? I don’t remember ever hearing one. [Reply]
