In retrospect, Justin March’s season-ending meniscus injury in August looks like one of the more interesting “what ifs” for the Chiefs’ 2015 season.
March, who was signed as an undrafted inside linebacker out of Akron last May, earned rave reviews last preseason from everyone ranging from general manager John Dorsey to defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.
During training camp, Sutton praised March’s instincts and knack for being around the ball, while Dorsey called him the “surprise of camp” and praised his tenacity and mental acuity.
Now March, who returned to practice as a full participant this month during offseason workouts, is earning strong praise from another key voice — head coach Andy Reid.
