Niang played RT in college because they already had a LT. That offense wanted a guy like him at RT because it's that important.
The way passing offenses work nowadays - plus the fact that teams move their pass rushers all over to get mismatches - I don't think there's really that much difference at all.
Especially when you have Mahomes tip toeing all over the field. [Reply]

Yep.
Or maybe they've already penciled in Niang at LT, which is why Remmers' agent said he was the Week 1 starter.
To be quite honest, I'm not sure I see the difference between drafting Jenkins at #31, only to switch him over to the left side, and starting Niang at LT.
I mean, if they're going to move a guy, why not move the guy that's spent the last year training per the Chiefs instruction? [Reply]

Is it just me or does he not look out of shape here, see video below? I’m not sure he’s been “training per Chiefs instructions” if he’s winded from getting in his sets... his lower body looks really skinny and he looks fat and soft in the upper body. This video screams red flags to me on conditioning.

Sometimes... depends on the day. Relying on Niang to be a starter much less our LT is not smart. I hope he competes for our RT spot but I wouldn’t be surprised if Long or Remmers beat him out. Not wise to project someone out of shape at LT that has been a RT in college to protect mahomes. Niang will be depth or RT. [Reply]

There’s no telling how long they had been working out before that. He was working with this guy the entire season. I highly doubt he’s out of shape. [Reply]

Really... he has to squat down to rest at one point. His legs are super skinny. The coach rushing him is in better shape than him. You can see him move and he has athletic potential. Hopefully he’s gotten to work since this was made. You’ve got rose colored glasses with Niang. [Reply]
