During Thursday’s media sessions with reporters, various members of the Kansas City Chiefs roster and staff expressed their excitement and support for the recent news that K.C. had been awarded the chance to host the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Kansas City region had attempted to serve as host city for the traveling three-day event to bring the NFL Draft to town, but they missed out in 2018 to Dallas and this year to Nashville. Kansas City maintained interest all the while, even as they were spurned each time despite being lauded for their proposals, and their endurance paid off when NFL owners approved the site in 2023 during the recent spring owners’ meetings in Key Biscayne, Florida.
