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
I agree, but I hope now that he can be considered a full-time professional athlete, he can work on his lower body strength.
Unless he is just a freak of nature, that weight without a stronger base is going to contribute to a back injury, or cause a back injury. The best would be a healthy trade off, dropping some pounds up top, and adding muscle down below.

He’s built exactly like Willie Roaf.
His lower body is also completely overblown. [Reply]

These are his first football practices... college or pro... since October 2019 and it’s only May.
Exactly. And he was injured... Some here had him starting at LT after we lost out on Williams, which was laughable. He may end up being the 2nd string RT this season, and if you look at the OL personnel, one can argue that, that could have been the plan from the get go. He's here for the long haul, not only for this season. In time, Om betting he'll get where he needs to be. [Reply]
